The radiologist assistant master's degree program is the only program offered in Connecticut and in the Northeast and one of only four master's programs in the country.

Graduates of the program earn a master of health science and are eligible to become registered radiologist assistants. The advantage of a master's education, as opposed to a bachelor's or certificate program, lies in the greater opportunities of autonomy and responsibility and participation in research and education.

Earning a master's degree at Quinnipiac is also a wise investment: Nationally, salaries for radiologist assistants are double those of radiologic technologists. In addition, there is a dramatic gap in the demand for medical imaging procedures and available services -- a gap that likely will continue to grow.

Quinnipiac's faculty offers the highest level of education and experience in multiple disciplines. Among the faculty are medical doctors, including radiologists, as well as attorneys, pharmacologists, physicists and PhDs. Their expertise covers imaging modalities, procedures, patient care, management, pharmacology and anatomy.

The quality and level of instruction are sophisticated and rewarding. Students have access to cadaver labs for anatomy and physiology, PACS (picture archiving systems) imaging technologies and rotation through different clinical education settings.
