Advanced
Placement Program in Medical Imaging
Midland College offers an Advanced Placement Program for certified medical imaging technologists with hospital-based or nontraditional training who wish to obtain an Associate Degree.
The College may award 40 credit hours to certified imaging technologists who do not have a college degree. These credits may be applied toward the Associate of General Studies degree, which requires completion of an additional 22 hours, or they may be applied toward the Associate of Applied Science degree, (the degree awarded to regular Radiography graduates), which requires completion of an additional 29 hours. A minimum of 15 hours must be completed at Midland College.
General radiography courses, or advanced courses, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging, may be applied toward an Associate Degree under the Advanced Placement Program. Technologists interested in any of these areas are encouraged to discuss these options with the Chair of the Health Sciences Division.
