Requirements for MRIT Programs

The Consortium Clinic Coordinator will work with students to order a background check, drug screening, and immunization tracker. The cost for this paid for by students outside of the tuition costs, in the consortium tuition and fees.

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) program is offered through a partnership of Bay de Noc Community College and the following colleges: Kellogg Community College, Lansing Community College, Mid-Michigan Community College, Grand Rapids Community College, Southwestern Michigan College, and Westshore Community College

The six colleges established the Michigan Radiologic and Imaging Science (MRIS) Consortium, www.mwtec.org, for the purpose of sharing instructional resources to offer the MRI program. Each college enrolls students in that program under that college’s admission criteria and each awards the degree according to that college’s completion requirements.
