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. Classes begin in the fall, with completion of classroom instruction the following spring. Completion of clinical requirements may extend beyond the spring semester and is determined by requirements set by individual student progress.

Upon completion of both classroom instruction and clinical requirements, graduates may be eligible to sit for the ARRT credentialing examination in MRI. For additional information on this program, please contact the Department of Health Sciences and Nursing.
