Advanced Medical Imaging Classes and Scheduling

Advanced medical imaging courses are fully online and in-person clinical requirements can be completed in your local area. Synchronous opportunities are available for students desiring real-time interaction.

The online Bachelor of Science in Advanced Medical Imaging is divided into two distinct phases: pre-advanced medical imaging and a modality year.

Pre-Advanced Medical Imaging

During the pre-advanced medical imaging phase, you will complete the following requirements:

  • University Foundations courses (general education)*
  • Prerequisite courses*
  • Associate degree*
  • Advanced medical imaging courses
  • Imaging electives
  • Secure a clinical site

Items marked with an asterisk (*) may be completed through previously earned transfer courses.

As a pre-advanced medical imaging student, you will work closely with your academic advisor to create a degree plan. This plan includes a timeline of when you will begin your modality-specific courses and clinical experience. It will also determine the deadlines for securing your clinical site and applying for the modality year.

Advanced Medical Imaging Modality Year

The modality year takes place in your final year of the program. Here, you will be fully admitted to the advanced medical imaging program and complete modality-specific courses and clinical experiences.

Advanced Medical Imaging Bachelor’s Degree Requirements

To graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Advanced Medical Imaging, you must complete at least 120 credits.

You must also have earned — or be in the process of earning — an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science or Associate of Applied Science from an accredited institution. These may be previously earned academic credits or transfer courses.

I’ve Earned an Associate of Science or Associate of Arts

If you have earned — or are in the process of earning — an Associate of Science (AS) or Associate of Arts (AA), the following credits will be applied to your degree:

  • AS or AA Degree – Up to 38 credits
  • Medical Imaging Credential – Up to 25 credits for passing the ARRT credentialing exam or equivalent (15 credits lower division/10 credits upper division)

After being admitted to the pre-advanced medical imaging program, you will complete the following:

  • Required Advanced Medical Imaging Courses – 41 to 42 credits
  • Upper Division Imaging Electives – 0 to 12 credits

After being admitted to your modality year, you will complete 8 to 27 credits of required modality courses.

I’ve Earned an Associate of Applied Science

If you have earned — or are in the process of earning — an Associate of Applied Science (AAS), the following credits will be applied to your degree:

  • AAS Degree – Up to 23 credits
  • Medical Imaging Credential – Up to 25 credits for passing the ARRT credentialing exam or equivalent (15 credits lower division/10 credits upper division)

After being admitted to the pre-advanced medical imaging program, you will complete the following:

  • University Foundations Courses – 37 credits
  • Required Advanced Medical Imaging Courses – 41 to 42 credits
  • Upper Division Imaging Electives – 0 to 12 credits

After being admitted to your modality year, you will complete 8 to 27 credits of required modality courses.

I’m Earning a Second Bachelor’s Degree

If you have already earned a bachelor’s degree, either at Boise State or elsewhere, you must complete at least 30 additional upper-division credits at Boise State to earn a second bachelor’s degree. You must also meet the course requirements in your major as well as those of the university.

After being admitted to the pre-advanced medical imaging program, you will complete 41-42 credits of required advanced medical imaging courses (at least 30 of which must be completed at Boise State). This credit requirement includes the following:

  • Upper Division Imaging Electives – 0 to 12 credits
  • Modality Year Courses – 8 to 27 credits

Academic Rigor and Asking for Help

The prerequisite courses for advanced medical imaging are academically rigorous. It is imperative to work with your academic advisor and professor to set up a realistic study plan and ask for help when needed.

Course Descriptions

Course descriptions are published on the undergraduate catalog website.

To find a course, click the “Courses” tab and select the drop-down list that aligns with your desired course prefix (e.g. AMI 204). You may also use the search bar to search for the course prefix.

Authorization

Boise State maintains authorization to offer online programs in Idaho and beyond. Detailed information about state authorization is available on the eCampus Center website.
