Program Description
As a student in this program, you will complete foundation and pre-professional coursework with other pre-medical and health students on Jefferson’s East Falls Campus. During the second year, students will begin the process of working with faculty to select concentrations in the radiologic sciences. Students who maintain progression criteria are guaranteed to matriculate into the professional phase, delivered on the Center City campus. Jefferson’s academic advisors and faculty work closely with our students on course selection and academic performance to ensure that each student is on pace to transition into the professional phase of the program.
Program Highlights
In our stimulating and supportive environment, you will build a strong foundation in sciences and humanities, preparing you for success in upper-division courses in Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences.
