Biology - Medical Imaging Science Specialization, B.S.
¿ìèÆƽâ°æ This Degree
The Bachelor of Science joint-degree program in Medical Imaging Science with Rutgers University School of Health Professions qualifies students for certification examinations leading to professional licensure. Degree options exist for Cardiac Sonography, Diagnostic Medial Sonography, and Vascular Sonography. Sonographers provide vital data to physicians and other practitioners to assist in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of disease and maintenance of health. Medical Laboratory Scientists employ complex instrumentation and procedures to perform their duties. Students interested in this field should have a strong interest in science, have the capacity to learn technical skills, work accurately and reliably when under pressure, and effectively communicate with others. Students must apply for acceptance to Rutgers University School of Health Professions by January 15 of the same year prior to their beginning a clinical program in the following autumn. Acceptance to the joint-degree program in Medical Imaging Science requires a minimum CGPA of 2.85.
