The Plan of Study includes required allied health and perfusion science courses.  

Courses offered in the Fall        

Courses offered in the Spring

Students enrolled in the Masters Degree Clinical Perfusion are expected to make satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of their Plan of Study and degree requirements.  All courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or better and a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA) must be maintained throughout enrollment in the program.  Courses may be repeated only once, and a cumulative GPA below 2.0 at the completion of any semester will result in dismissal from the program. 

Degree Completion

Upon completion of the Plan of Study, students will receive a "Notification of Completion" letter from the MDCP.  This letter will advise when the actual MPS diploma will be issued and provide information about the graduation ceremony in Omaha, Nebraska.  Students must be awarded a minimum of 70 total semester hours of college credit (UNMC courses + transfer credit + certification credit) by the UNMC Office of Academic Records in order to be eligible to graduate from UNMC.  Diplomas are issued twice each year - May and December - dependent upon the student's completion of all requirements by the deadline dates set by the Program.  You may obtain your UNMC transcripts only after the diploma date.    

Continuing Education

For the purpose of reporting continuing education activity to the American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion (ABCP), CEU's will apply ONLY toward credit hours NOT converted to academic credit hours.  This occurs ONLY by withdrawal from the program or failure to complete the program in the allotted 36 month period.  ABCP credit may be applied as Category III CEUs as described in their Booklet of Information (http://www.abcp.org/boi.htm).
