Course Formats

The Medical Imaging Program offers each of our credentials in different formats designed to fit in students' lifestyle and help them succeed.

• Medical Imaging AAS is open to full-time students only. General education courses can be taken online, but all program-specific courses are taught in a traditional, in-person format given the hands on nature of the course material. Students should be prepared to be in class during the daytime and are required to provide their own transportation back/forth to clinical sites. Schedules vary based on campus. Reach out to your campus of interest to learn more about meeting times/dates.
• Computed Tomography (CT) Scan Prep and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Certificates are offered via distance education, which means they are 100% online. Students can watch the courses whenever fits best in their schedule, but there are deadlines throughout each term to help keep students on track to complete the program on time.
• Mammography Certificate is offered in different formats by two campuses, but available to students across the entire state via online formats.
  • Ivy Tech Marion offers the certificate in a virtual format, which means you can take classes online according to a set schedule. All students and the instructor are together for class via video conferencing.
  • Ivy Tech Terre Haute offers the certificate via distance education, which means students can watch the courses whenever fits best in their schedule, but there are deadlines throughout each term to help keep students on track to complete the program on time.

Step 1

Apply to Ivy Tech

Students interested in the Medical Imaging program must first submit the Ivy Tech general application and complete the requirements for admission to the college. During this application, you should apply for the Healthcare Specialist program with a concentration in Medical Imaging.

Admission to Ivy Tech does not ensure acceptance to a health science program, but students can work on prerequisite courses for the program after admission to the college and before applying to the program itself.

Step 2

Apply to the Medical Imaging Program

Following completion of prerequisite courses, you may apply for the Medical Imaging program through the online application for health science programs. 

Please note that the Medical Imaging program is a selective admission program, which means there are a limited number of spots each year.

Offers of Admission

Students can select up to three credential types and three campuses on the application. Offers of acceptance are for a specific credential and a specific campus. The offers are determined through eight rounds of auto-selection and six rounds of manual selection.

If you are accepted, you will receive an email from the online application system to your Ivy Tech email account offering you a seat in the program you selected. Offers are emailed beginning within one week of the application close date and continue until program capacity is met or one week before the start of semester classes. Each round of offers begins at 6:00 am and applicants have until 11:59 pm the following day to either accept or reject an offer.

Depending on their rank and offers, a student could potentially receive multiple offers. Once you accept one offer, you are immediately withdrawn from all other offers and you will be contacted by the chair or dean of the program with information about the program orientation date, time, and location.

If a student fails to respond, then the offer expires. If a student rejects an offer three (3) times, the application is removed from the auto-selection application pool but will then be available for manual selection rounds that occur later in the process.

You do have the ability to withdraw your application at any point during the admission cycle. However, once you withdraw your application, you will not be able to apply again until the next application cycle.

After You're Accepted

If you are accepted into the program—first off, congratulations!—you will be required to attend an orientation session at your local campus during the summer semester prior to beginning classes. An email will be sent following your acceptance with details about the session.

What If I Don’t Get Admitted?

The Medical Imaging program does not maintain a waitlist. Non-admitted applicants can reapply in the next semester’s application cycle. You may also want to meet with your advisor. Advisors can assist students in exploring other programs of interest in Ivy Tech’s School of Health Sciences if they have applied several times and have not been accepted into the program. Ivy Tech offers many programs similar to Medical Imaging that lead to high-demand jobs that may be new to you but fit your passion to help others.

What is Selective Admission? 

The Medical Imaging program is a selective admissions program. This means we can only accept a small number of students each year. 

Weighted Point System

A weighted point system is used to evaluate applicants for admission. Student applications are assigned points based on their grades in prerequisite courses. Point totals for applicants receiving admission offers will vary between campuses. Point totals are not shared.

General Education Weighted Point System

When multiple course attempts are reported on applicant transcripts (including transcripts from other colleges and universities), the highest earned grade of the first two attempts within a three-year period will be used for the selection decision score through the application period. Points for courses transferred from other institutions will be awarded based on the grade recorded on the transcript, provided transfer credit appears on the Ivy Tech transcript.
