The deadline to apply for Kellogg Community College’s Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Program beginning this summer is Wednesday, Feb. 15.
KCC’s MRI Program prepares graduates for certification to become MRI technologists qualified to user powerful magnetic fields, radio waves and computers to create digital images to assist patient diagnosis in hospitals, physician offices and diagnostic imaging centers.
Completion of KCC’s MRI Program results in an Associate of Applied Science degree in Magnetic Resonance Imaging and makes graduates eligible to take the MRI certification exam administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), through which they can earn nationally recognized professional credentials.
KCC’s program consists of four academic semesters including two summer sessions, with traditional coursework offered in an online format and clinical education provided off campus at one of 32 MRI departments in Michigan.
KCC’s MRI Program:
- Saw a 93 percent completion rate for cohort students graduating in 2015
- Boasts an 83 percent credentialing exam pass rate for students who have taken the ARRT exam between 2013 and 2015 and passed on their first attempt
- Produced a 100 percent job-placement rate among program graduates from 2013 through 2015
Admission to KCC’s MRI Program is competitive, and just six students are admitted to the program during a limited open-application period each year.
