## Radiology Tech Salaries in Mississippi

According to BLS May 2025 OEWS data, 2,510 radiologic technologists and technicians are employed in Mississippi. The median annual wage is $59,300. Entry-level positions at the 10th percentile earn $40,740 per year, while experienced technologists at the 90th percentile reach $78,090.

Here is how the full wage distribution looks for radiologic technologists in Mississippi:

- **10th percentile:** $40,740
- **25th percentile:** $49,340
- **Median (50th percentile):** $59,300
- **75th percentile:** $66,160
- **90th percentile:** $78,090

Mississippi’s cost of living is consistently among the lowest in the nation. The Economic Policy Institute and most cost-of-living indices place Mississippi’s overall cost index well below the national average – around 15 to 20 percent below typical U.S. living costs. A median radiologic technologist salary of $59,300 in Mississippi carries considerably more purchasing power than the same dollar figure in states like California or New York. Housing costs in particular are substantially lower: median home prices in Jackson and the surrounding metro area are a fraction of those in coastal markets.

That context matters when comparing Mississippi salaries to national benchmarks. The national median for radiologic technologists runs higher in absolute terms, but after adjusting for cost of living, Mississippi technologists often maintain comparable or better living standards than peers in higher-cost states.

### Career Progression: MRI Technologist Salaries

Radiographers who earn additional credentials in magnetic resonance imaging can expect a meaningful pay increase. BLS May 2025 OEWS data shows 250 MRI technologists employed in Mississippi with a median annual wage of $71,710 – a $12,410 difference from the radiologic technologist median. The top 25% of MRI technologists in the state earn $79,710 or more, and the 90th percentile reaches $82,730.

- **10th percentile:** $54,080
- **25th percentile:** $62,730
- **Median:** $71,710
- **75th percentile:** $79,710
- **90th percentile:** $82,730

The path from radiographer to MRI technologist typically takes one to two additional years of experience and a separate ARRT certification in MRI. UMMC’s post-primary MRI program (described below) offers one formal route for Mississippi graduates.

## Mississippi Radiology Tech Licensing Requirements

Mississippi requires radiologic technologists to hold a state license through the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH), Office of Radiation Control. Here is what the process involves:

- **Credential required:** ARRT certification in Radiography (or an approved equivalent) is the standard pathway to licensure. Graduates must pass the ARRT examination before applying for a state license.
- **Application:** Submit a completed application to the MSDH Office of Radiation Control along with proof of ARRT certification and applicable fees. [VERIFY: current application fee from MSDH]
- **Renewal:** Licenses must be renewed on a regular cycle. ARRT continuing education requirements (24 CE credits per two-year cycle) support license renewal. [VERIFY: Mississippi-specific renewal interval and any state CE requirements beyond ARRT minimums]
- **Background checks:** Some employers and clinical sites require criminal background checks independent of state licensing. Programs typically require students to pass background screening before beginning clinical rotations.

If you trained in another state and want to practice in Mississippi, the MSDH reviews credentials on a case-by-case basis. Holding current ARRT certification generally satisfies the credential requirement regardless of where you completed your program, provided it was JRCERT-accredited.

## What to Look for in a Mississippi Radiology Tech Program

With 10 accredited programs to choose from, the decision often comes down to factors specific to Mississippi’s geography, healthcare system, and labor market. Here is what to weigh carefully.

### Clinical Site Diversity

Mississippi’s healthcare infrastructure is heavily weighted toward regional medical centers and rural critical access hospitals. Programs whose clinical rotations include both large academic medical centers (such as UMMC or Forrest General) and smaller rural hospitals prepare graduates for the employment settings that dominate the state’s job market. Mississippi has one of the highest rates of rural hospital utilization in the country, and employers across the Delta, Pine Belt, and Gulf Coast regions actively recruit locally trained technologists.

### ARRT Exam Pass Rate

State programs range from 78% to 96% on ARRT pass rates. A higher pass rate generally reflects stronger academic preparation and more focused exam readiness instruction. Ask programs how they prepare students: do they use practice exams, remediation sessions, or structured review courses in the final semester? The ARRT exam covers patient care, safety, image production, and procedures – and programs vary in how systematically they address each domain.

### Completion Rate and Student Support

Completion rates in Mississippi range from 55% at Mississippi Delta to 100% at five programs. A low completion rate does not mean a program is bad, but it does mean you should ask direct questions: What causes students to leave? What tutoring, academic advising, or financial support exists? Some attrition reflects life circumstances rather than academic difficulty, but a program should be able to explain its rate and describe what it does to support students through the full 22 or 24 months.

### Program Length and Schedule Flexibility

Most Mississippi programs run 22 to 24 months. Pearl River Community College is the only program currently offering evening and weekend scheduling, which matters considerably if you are working or raising a family. If daytime attendance is a barrier, Pearl River is worth investigating despite its higher tuition – the total cost may still be manageable compared to losing income during a daytime-only program.

### Tuition Relative to Return

The range of resident tuition across Mississippi programs is striking: from $1,550 at Itawamba to $16,940 at Pearl River. Given that all 10 programs achieve 100% job placement and the median entry salary for the field is in the mid-$40,000s, lower-tuition programs offer faster return on investment. A program costing $1,550 versus $16,940 represents a difference of over $15,000 – roughly six months of post-graduation salary. That gap is worth factoring in.

### Proximity to Likely Employment Markets

Mississippi’s main healthcare employment centers are Jackson, Hattiesburg, the Gulf Coast (Biloxi, Gulfport, Pascagoula), Tupelo, and Meridian. Programs near these markets offer clinical rotations that often convert into job offers. Students willing to work in rural areas have additional options but should research employer-specific incentive programs – some Mississippi rural health systems offer loan repayment or sign-on bonuses for allied health staff.

## Program Length, Clinical Hours, and ARRT Exam Preparation

JRCERT standards require a minimum of 1,800 clinical hours for accredited radiography programs. All 10 Mississippi programs meet this requirement. The 22-month programs (Itawamba, Meridian, Mississippi Delta, Northeast Mississippi, and UMMC) compress the curriculum slightly relative to the 24-month programs, but clinical hour minimums are the same across all.

Clinical rotations in Mississippi programs typically include general radiography, fluoroscopy, mobile and surgical imaging, and introductory exposure to computed tomography. Advanced modalities such as MRI, nuclear medicine, and mammography may be observed but are generally not part of the primary curriculum at the community college level.

ARRT exam preparation is woven into the final semesters at most programs through case review, mock examinations, and structured content review. The ARRT Radiography examination covers five major content areas: patient care and education, safety, image production, procedures, and an integrated component. Students should confirm with each program how much dedicated exam preparation time is built into the final semester, since this varies and has a measurable effect on pass rates – as the spread from 78% to 96% across Mississippi programs clearly shows.

## Related Imaging and Therapy Programs in Mississippi

After completing a radiography program and gaining ARRT certification, some technologists pursue advanced post-primary credentials in specialized modalities. The following JRCERT-accredited program represents a formal pathway for career advancement in Mississippi.
