LSR Bridge to Radiologic Technology
Bridge into Radiologic Technology
M State’s Limited Scope Radiography diploma program offers a bridge into the Radiologic Technology degree program for LSR program graduates who want to advance their careers with additional training.
Each year, up to 10 LSR graduates “bridge” into the Radiologic Technology program, where they join Radiologic Technology students in the final year of their program on our Detroit Lakes campus.
Successful LSR Bridge and Radiologic Technology program students graduate together with an AAS degree, prepared to work as entry-level radiologic technologists.
