The Curriculum
Busy imaging technologists will benefit from a hybrid class format, allowing them greater flexibility to advance their education while juggling hectic work and family life. Some courses are self-paced while others meet in real-time. These courses are available online using Canvas, an innovative platform integrating technology and teaching for an elevated student learning experience.
Once a semester, students come to campus for two days of in-person instruction and training in our state-of-the-art simulation labs. See the schedule for on-campus days here.
Small classes allow students to bond with each other and with their faculty members, forming important networks of mutual support and professional growth that last long after graduation.
