Bachelor of Science Degree

The program accepts 20 students each year.

At the time of application, students select their first and second track choices from Radiography, Radiography/CT and Radiography/MR.

All students are initially accepted to the radiography track and determination for CT and MR tracks are made in the second semester of their junior year.

Applicants to sonography apply directly to that program.

Graduates are eligible to take the national certification examination in radiography, given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, and qualify for licensure to practice in New York state.

Bachelor of Professional Studies Degree

This program is for students with an associate’s degree in medical imaging or medical radiography who would like to pursue specialty education in CT, MRI, or Ultrasound.

The program prepares radiographers to practice as career entry CT, MRI, or Ultrasound technologists.

A bachelor of professional studies degree will be awarded as BPS Medical Imaging (CT), BPS Medical Imaging (MRI), or BPS Diagnostic Medical Sonography (Ultrasound).
