Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Medical Imaging Science - Diagnostic Medical Sonography] From Fairleigh Dickinson University

Diagnostic Medical Sonographers provide patient services using diagnostic ultrasound under the supervision of a licensed physician. Sonographers look for subtle differences between healthy and pathological areas and decide what images to include in their report. The Sonographer may provide this service in a variety of medical settings including hospitals, emergency rooms, and doctors offices.

Students in this major are required to receive a "C" or better in all science courses, a "B-" or better in anatomy and physiology courses (BIOL1205 and BIOL1206), and maintain an overall 2.85 GPA or higher to be considered for the Rutgers SHP clinical training program. CPR certification is required before beginning clinical training.

Following acceptance to the Sonography program, students will require access to transportation while completing both classwork and clinical training at a variety of clinical sites over a period of 15 months beginning in the Fall of senior year. Tuition and financial aid are available through Rutgers.
