B.S. in Medical Imaging Science

A Bachelor of Science in Medical Imaging Sciences is a joint degree conferred by Saint Elizabeth University and Rutgers University – School of Health Related Professions after completion of three years at SEU followed by 15 months at Rutgers University. Students have four programs of study to choose from – Cardiac Sonography, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Vascular Sonography and Nuclear Medicine Technology. A complete description of the programs at Rutgers can be found at http://shrp.rutgers.edu/dept/med_imaging/.

During the first three years at SEU, a student must fulfill all of the general education requirements of the University. The student must also complete the following science and mathematics courses required by both institutions prior to admission to Rutgers University.
