Michigan colleges and universities offer several radiology programs.
The College Board reports that nine colleges and universities in Michigan offer at least an associate’s degree in one of the fields related to radiology. Students interested in a degree in one of these fields have the choice of mid-size and large schools from different parts of the state.
Wayne State University
Detroit’s Wayne State University offers a Bachelor of Science (BS) in both radiologic technology and radiation therapy technology, as well as a Master of Science (MS) in radiologist assistant. The radiologic technology program suits the needs of those who want to provide medical images to assist in diagnosis. Those who wish to administer radiation for treatment of illnesses such as cancer should select the radiation therapy technology program. The MS program offers advanced education for those who work in diagnostic imaging. The College Board considers Wayne State a large university, with a Fall 2009 enrollment of 20,765 undergraduates and 11,021 graduate students.
