Students have the option of completing a B.S. degree program in Radiologic Sciences, concentration in Radiography or Nuclear Medicine. Students can select from one of three emphases: Management, Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging or PET CT. The degree program provides the student with all the necessary skills for advancement in the field. Beginning fall semester 2009, the BSRS courses will be offered online through the Radiologic Sciences Distance Education Program.
The Advanced Imaging Certificate Program at the University of New Mexico is a full-time 12-month curriculum of classroom and clinical training which leads to a certificate in either Nuclear Medicine Technology, MRI, CT or PET CT. Students are admitted once a year, with classes beginning in the fall semester (late August). This training provides the student with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform complex diagnostic procedures involving advanced imaging theory and clinical practices. The program maintains its accreditation through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Institutions of Higher Education. Upon successful completion, students are eligible to take the national certifying examination administered by the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
