Students who successfully complete a Bachelor of Science degree from Immaculata can finish their advanced degree at Salus University’s Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO) or Osborne College of Audiology (OCA).  

“It is important for us to continue to build strong partnerships with undergraduate institutions in the Philadelphia area and these new articulation agreements with Immaculata help us to achieve this goal,” said Monica Scirrotto, MS, director of Admissions at Salus. “We are excited to provide Immaculata students with the opportunity to learn about the various health careers that they can pursue and to continue our commitment to the training of future healthcare practitioners."

The Salus Immaculata partnerships include:
