Program Effectiveness Data

The median annual wage for magnetic resonance imaging technologists was $69,930 in May 2017.

The median annual wage for radiologic technologists was $58,440 in May 2017.

Overall employment of radiologic and MRI technologists is projected to grow 13 percent from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations. As the population grows older, there will be an increase in medical conditions that require imaging as a tool for making diagnoses.*Bureau of Labor Statistics

We also offer the opportunity for Registered Radiologic Technologists who do not currently have a college degree to enroll in the required supportive and general education courses as outlined in the college catalog. Applicants will be granted a degree upon successful completion of the requirements.
