Imaging Sciences

Coursework follows Keiser's signature one-class-at-a-time model, with each class delivered in a four-week term and new classes starting every month. As a degree-completion program, the total Bachelor of Science requires 122-128 credit hours, of which most students transfer in credit from their prior associate degree or imaging credential (up to 12 additional transfer credits may also apply). The remaining degree-completion coursework is typically around 24 courses.

Program length varies with the amount of credit transferred in. Keiser notes that students bringing substantial prior credit can complete the remaining requirements in as little as a few terms, while a full path runs roughly two years or more. Day, evening, online, and hybrid options are available at select Florida campuses, with average class sizes around 14:1.

The Clinical Imaging Concentration includes hands-on internship, practicum, and clinical-practice courses in real healthcare settings; students must maintain the professional licensure and any site-required clearances needed to participate in clinical placements.

The upper-division curriculum combines healthcare leadership and imaging-operations coursework with your chosen concentration in either Imaging Administration or advanced Clinical Imaging. Representative courses are listed below.

Required Courses

Tuition at Keiser University is charged per 16-week semester by scheduled credit hours; a full-time load of 12-17.99 credits is approximately $12,408 per semester (Keiser Undergraduate Tuition & Fee Disclosure; subject to annual review). Because this is a degree-completion program, the total cost depends heavily on how many credits transfer in from your prior associate degree or imaging credential and how many of the 122-128 total credits remain to be completed at Keiser. Some courses may carry additional resource or lab fees; specific amounts are confirmed by your Program Director or Admissions Counselor. A one-time $55 application fee and $145 registration fee apply at enrollment (subject to annual review).

Financial aid is available for qualifying students, including federal Pell Grants, FSEOG, Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, Direct PLUS Loans, and Federal Work-Study; Florida student aid programs (FSAG and EASE); institutional scholarships; and veterans and military education benefits. Students should complete the FAFSA annually using School Code 015159.

Graduates are prepared to advance beyond front-line scanning into leadership, management, and specialized clinical roles across hospitals, imaging centers, and outpatient diagnostic settings. Typical roles include:

• Radiology operations manager or imaging department director
• Imaging administrator or radiology administrator
• Modality supervisor or team lead (MRI, CT, sonography, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy)
• Clinical imaging coordinator or imaging quality-management specialist
• Medical imaging educator or consultant

For technologists in the Clinical Imaging Concentration, advanced modality coursework and clinical experience support eligibility for post-primary certification (for example, ARRT post-primary pathways in CT, MRI, and mammography) beyond an existing primary credential. Certification and licensure requirements are set by the relevant credentialing bodies and state boards; prospective students should confirm eligibility for their specific pathway.

Expect a program designed to fit around a working imaging career: one class at a time in four-week terms, with day, evening, online, and hybrid options at select Florida campuses. Because it is a degree-completion program, you will build directly on the credential and credits you already hold rather than repeating foundational coursework.

Coursework blends healthcare leadership and operations with imaging-specific policy, financial management, and accreditation and regulation. Students in the Imaging Administration track focus on the management side of imaging services, while those in the Clinical Imaging track take advanced modality courses in CT, MRI, and cross-sectional anatomy and complete hands-on internships in clinical settings. Clinical-track students must keep their professional license active and meet any placement-site clearance requirements throughout their internship courses.
