Pursuing a career as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technician or technologist involves earning a certificate, associates degree or bachelor's degree in radiologic technology. There are no separate accredited programs for the study of magnetic resonance imaging. The study of radiography includes magnetic resonance imaging as a specialty. A variety of accredited radiologic technology programs are available across Long Island.
Long Island University/C. W. Post Campus
The radiologic technology program at LIU/C. W. Post Campus began in 1973. Students start this program at different levels and have different admission requirements. Graduates of hospital-based programs come to earn their bachelor's and enter at the junior level. All students must have 64 academic credits in liberal arts and sciences before they begin the professional part of the program. The accredited four-year program prepares students to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) examination in radiography. Achieving a grade above 75 on the exam gives the student eligibility for licensing by the state of New York.
