1.00 - 15.00 Credits
Within the B.S. in Medical Imaging Sciences degree, the concentration in ultrasound was approved so that a block of credits ranging from 30 - 60 credits may be transferred from a formal ultrasound educational program that is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Diagnostic Medical Sonography (JRCDMS). The curriculum of every JRCDMS-accredited ultrasound program must meet the same standards and guidelines although clinical course titles and credits vary slightly with each program. Placeholder courses will facilitate transference of clinical credits from accredited ultrasound programs into PennWest. Students may complete their general education course work before completing their ultrasound clinical program, or they may complete the clinical ultrasound program prior to completing general education coursework at PennWest.
