MSU's master's program in Radiologic Sciences was the first discipline-specific MSRS offered in the United States, and it has been offered since 1995. The mission of the program is to prepare students to be leaders in the areas of administration, education, and advanced clinical practice in the radiologic sciences. The program features a holistic approach to graduate education, and it is offered in a hybrid distance-learning format. This unique curriculum design permits working professionals, regardless of their location, to complete the program with minimal on-campus requirements while preserving the benefits of face-to-face contact with other graduate students.
