Overview

The Pennsylvania Western University's 120-credit Bachelor of Science in Medical Imaging Sciences is a two-plus-two program that requires completion of approximately 60 credits of allied health, science, math, and general education course work followed by completion of a two-year program of clinical study in either radiologic technology or ultrasound (diagnostic medical sonography) offsite at a JRCERT or CAAHEP accredited clinical school with which PennWest has a formal affiliation agreement. Most of the coursework in the four-year program is completed face-to-face.

Choose from five different concentrations that will prepare you for a career in medical imaging. General education credits will hone your critical thinking and communication skills, while our expert Allied Health faculty help you build a strong foundation in the health sciences. They will then coach you for a successful transition from the online program to a PennWest-approved clinical site – either a JRCERT accredited hospital-based school of radiologic technology or the Great Lakes Institute of Technology’s Diagnostic Medical Sonography program.
