First-year or freshman applicants are students who have just graduated high school. They are applying to a university to pursue a 4 or 5-year degree.
English Requirement
English test score requirements: ELS - 112 Graduation; IELTS - 6.0 Overall minimum of 5.5 on each section; PTE – 46; TOEFL - 66 iBT minimum of 15 on each section; Duolingo – 95; Cambridge - 169 minimum, Recommended exam: C1 Advanced.
The Advanced Medical Imaging Technology (AMIT) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) certificate program provides an avenue for post-baccalaureate students who are unable to pursue a second baccalaureate or an advanced degree.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within your body. These techniques are used to diagnosis disease and analyze human anatomy.
The program is 12 consecutive months in duration. Through a combination of classroom, online learning, and clinical instruction, students will be taught the specific skills needed for entry-level positions in MRI. You may also choose to study the second modality (Nuclear Medicine Technology) for an additional 12 month curriculum.
Upon completion of the professional curriculum, certificate students are eligible to sit for national board exams, a necessity in nearly all healthcare fields. It is our goal to supply you with the necessary level of training and experience to adequately prepare for these examinations.

Advanced Medical Imaging Technology program graduates are employed in hospitals, medical centers, outpatient clinics, and research facilities. Advancement in this field may involve promotion to supervisory and administrative positions, equipment and pharmaceutical sales, product support, and teaching.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for MRI technologists is expected to grow 9% by 2028 (much faster than the national average) and the current median pay is $62,280 per year.
Most full-time MRI Technologists work about 40 hours a week. They may, however, have evening, weekend or on-call hours. Opportunities for part-time and shift work also are available.
Physical stamina is important, because MRI Technologists are on their feet for long periods and need to assist incapacitated patients. Some technologists travel to patients' locations, using large vans and trucks equipped with sophisticated diagnostic equipment.
