Program Description

If you are interested in diagnostic imaging techniques, this degree will prepare you for transfer to a four-year institution to continue your education in medical imaging. Pre-health science preparation consists of undergraduate credit hours weighted heavily with mathematical, physical, social and biological sciences. You should work closely with an academic advisor each semester to make certain you are enrolled in the correct courses for a seamless transfer process and you are encouraged to begin a dialogue with your intended transfer school as early as possible. Early coordination between TCC academic advisors and advisors from selected four-year institutions can streamline the transfer process. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that he/she understands the program/admission/transfer requirements for the transfer school.
