Testimonials

I’m so impressed by how we are taught. We’re in lectures one day, and the next day, we’re down in the lab, working hands-on.

Anna, Radiologic Technology ’18

I want to pursue my BS degree because my career goal is to be a manager of a radiology department and having a bachelors in the field will make me a stronger candidate for such a position. I chose MCHP because I started my career with earning my advanced certificate in Radiologic Technology from there. I loved the staff and my experience there then so figured why not go back “home” to earn my degree.

Tiffany, Radiologic Technology ’11,currently BS-MI student

The online courses are perfect for me because I can work them into my busy schedule of working full time plus per diem and being a mom. I can do my class work at night and on the weekends which works for my schedule. I heard about the program from the lovely professors at MCHP who have stayed in contact with me despite me graduating 10 years ago from there!

The flexibility of the program is going to be perfect for earning my degree while still being able to do all the things I need to do with work and family!
