Master of Science in Perfusion
The MSP curriculum contains 37 academic quarter credits, including a master's thesis, and 30 quarter credits of didactic and supervised clinical work.
The MSP program starts in the Fall Quarter of each academic year (September) and is six consecutive quarters (including a Summer Quarter) in length, if the student successfully completes all of the program requirements. The MSP program is offered only at the Milwaukee campus. Since the curriculum is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP), graduates are eligible to sit for the Certified Clinical Perfusionist's examination administered by the American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion.Most of the academic courses are scheduled to meet on the campus, but all students are required to provide their own transportation to the various affiliated clinical sites. Most of the affiliated institutions are located within 25 miles of the campus. Public transportation does not reliably allow the student to arrive at clinical sites at the time specified, to perform their assigned duties.
