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.
