Allied Health Technologies 045

Coordinator: Douglas W. Morrison, 973-353-1268

The major is offered at the Newark College of Arts and Sciences (NCAS). A major in Allied Health Technologies (AHT) leading to the bachelor of science degree is offered jointly by the Department of Biological Sciences at Rutgers–Newark and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-School of Health Related Professions in Newark (UMDNJ-SHRP). Graduates become members of health care teams contributing to the diagnosis and treatment of disease in a variety of health care, industrial, governmental, and educational settings.

AHT majors take three years of coursework at Rutgers–Newark and must apply to the senior clinical year at UMDNJ-SHRP through a separate admissions process in the fall semester of their junior year. Admission requirements for the senior clinical year include a cumulative grade-point average of 2.75 and grades of C or better in all prerequisite core science courses taken at Rutgers–Newark. Students may specialize in diagnostic medical sonography, vascular technology, nuclear medicine technology, or respiratory care. For more information about the joint program, contact the faculty adviser for Allied Health Technologies at Rutgers–Newark, Dr. Douglas W. Morrison, at 973-353-1268 or dmorrison@andromeda.rutgers.edu.


Course requirements to be taken at NCAS and at UMDNJ-SHRP for the four options are as follows:
