The Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences (BSRS) program at Colorado Mesa University prepare individuals for certification and professional practice in the radiologic sciences. Radiologic technologists are an important part of the professional healthcare team, providing medical images that are vital for the diagnosis and treatment of injury, degeneration and disease.
CMU's small classroom size facilitates close relationships between students and faculty, which has proven to have a positive impact on student success in the program.The four-year Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences (BSRS) program provides educational experiences to prepare a professional radiologic technologist to practice in a variety of healthcare settings. The program integrates theory, practice and science with a broad liberal arts education. Following successful completion of the program and after meeting ethics and examination requirements, the graduate is eligible to sit for the national certification examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). **CMU's BSRS is the only accredited baccalaureate of science in radiologic sciences program in the state of Colorado.**
Academic Requirements for Bachelor of Science in Radiologic SciencesThe Professional Certificate in Computed Tomography is designed to prepare certified and registered radiologic technologists for post-primary certification and registration with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in computed tomography. Students must be registered with the ARRT in radiography, nuclear medicine technology (NMTCB also accepted) or radiation therapy and hold the minimum of an associate degree. Coursework from the certificate can be applied to the Bachelor of Applied Science in Radiologic Sciences.
Academic Requirements for Professional Certificate in Computed TomographyThe registered radiologic technologist plays an important role on the medical team by providing quality radiographic images. The radiologic technologist functions to aid in the diagnosis of various abnormalities. Varieties of career opportunities are available for radiologic technologists. A registered radiologic technologist is qualified to work in hospitals, doctor’s offices and public health facilities.
Radiologic technology is a dynamic career with new applications and techniques appearing regularly. This field affords many opportunities for professional growth. The BSRS program’s curriculum includes an ARRT approved course in computed tomography, which may be used as a required didactic foundation for this specialization. In addition, the BSRS degree serves as a stepping-stone for advancement into magnetic resonance imaging, vascular-interventional imaging, cardiac-interventional imaging, mammography, sonography, quality management, radiation oncology and nuclear medicine. The degree opens up reliable opportunities in leadership and education.
