Medical Imaging Sciences
The B.S. in Medical Imaging Sciences includes a minor in biology, and is a joint-degree program with the Rutgers School of Health Professions (Rutgers-SHP).
You will spend the first three years taking science and General Education classes, and then apply for admission to Rutgers-SHP. Upon acceptance, you’ll spend your fourth year taking specialized courses in one of three areas: cardiac sonography, diagnostic medical sonography, or vascular sonography.
To earn this degree, students must successfully complete at least 120 credits, including General Education requirements and the major requirements below.

- 1
Recommended for students in the Medical Imaging Sciences major
- 2
One of the nine courses in the preceding list is recommended. BI422 Advanced Molecular Genetics is highly recommended.
- 3
If student is placed into an MA course higher than MA109, student should take that higher level MA course instead of MA109.
Recommended electives, particularly for students planning to seek an advanced degree in science: CH224 Organic Chemistry II and MA116 Calculus II. All of the preceding required courses must be completed prior to entry into the Rutgers University portion of the program.
