ARE THE PROGRAMS RESIDENT, ONLINE, OR HYBRID?

All degree programs except for the BS in Radiologic Science utilize the blended learning environment (hybrid). Certificate programs and the BS in Radiologic Science are 100% distance education.

JPU’s hybrid learning environment allows students to receive all communication and course material and submit coursework through a web-based course management system. Students are required to participate in live weekly discussions for their classes as well as on-site instruction (boot camp). Specific boot camp requirements are outlined per program.

Programs within the School of Physics and Radiological Sciences and School of Medical Imaging Sciences have a clinical internship/externship requirement that involves placing the student at a clinical site to accumulate hours and complete required clinical competencies. JPU’s clinical coordinators work with students to secure clinical site placements. JPU makes no guarantees that a student will be placed at their desired site/location. Refer to the specific program’s clinical obligations policy for additional information.

HOW DO THE HYBRID PROGRAMS WORK?

3 Semesters are offered each year.

JPU’s student information system and course management system are used to manage communication and distribute all course material. The system allows students to communicate with other students, instructors, teacher’s aides, and administrative personnel. During the semester, students are able to retrieve resources for classes, course material, weekly schedules and tasks, lecture videos and supplemental lecture material through the system.

Hybrid Programs – School of Physics and Radiological Sciences

Boot camp is scheduled each semester. Students are required to attend boot camp each semester they are enrolled in didactic instruction. Locations for in-person instruction are announced in advance. Students must attend in-person instruction where it is scheduled. Travel expenses associated with attending boot camp in-person are the responsibility of the student.
