An approved Department application is needed prior to acceptance into the MRI course sequence.

To earn this degree, students must fulfill all requirements as defined by the Graduation Requirements for Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) Degree Programs . Each student should submit a graduation application at least one full semester before they plan to graduate. Courses taken out of sequence may delay a student’s ability to complete the program in a timely manner. Please refer to the Example Course Sequencing below and consult your advisor regularly.
