Oregon Institute of Technology (Oregon Tech) is a public university based in Klamath Falls and the Portland metropolitan area, with a presence throughout the Pacific Northwest. We’re also Oregon’s only polytechnic university, meaning we emphasize technical subjects and applied sciences, and encourage students to pursue their passions and professional opportunities through internships, externships, and field experiences. But our distinction doesn’t stop there. Through our nearly 50 bachelor’s and master's degree programs, and a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Oregon Tech offers a rigorous, experiential education.
The Department of Medical Imaging Technology (MIT), within the College of Health, Arts & Sciences (HAS), offers bachelor’s degrees in five professional programs which encompass the spectrum of imaging sciences. The curriculum of each bachelor’s degree program provides the technical, scientific, and communication skills essential for the application of learned concepts. Each program prepares students for their final eleven-month clinical externship at one of the many affiliated healthcare facilities, maximizing the application of learning in the classroom to their field of study.
