The certificate program in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prepares individuals for a career in an exciting field of diagnostic imaging. The program accepts qualified individuals into a 10-month, 21-credit sequence of courses that provides students with both classroom instruction and clinical experience. Applicants are required to be CPR certified, ARRT certified in radiography, nuclear medicine, or sonography, and licensed in the state of Connecticut.
