Cardiovascular Science/Perfusion Program graduates are provided with the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the demands of the perfusion field, where surgical, technological, and basic sciences are rapidly changing.
The 21-month curriculum, which leads to a Master of Science in Cardiovascular Science degree, is a full-time professional program consisting of seven continuous quarters. The program begins with three quarters of didactic and laboratory education at the Glendale campus.
The second year of the curriculum is comprised of clinical rotations, which occur at various affiliated hospitals located across the country. Relocation during clinical rotations will be necessary. This is a rigorous and demanding program; however, graduates are rewarded with a fulfilling and meaningful professional career.
