AIMS HISTORY

AIMS Education History

The American Institute of Medical Sciences and Education (AIMS Education) first opened its doors in 2004 in South Plainfield, NJ. The school was founded on the belief that better allied health training was needed in New Jersey. After starting off in a small office building in South Plainfield, AIMS Education moved to its main campus in Piscataway. The school has since grown into one of the premier allied health institutions in the region.

In 2007, AIMS earned its first institutional accreditation from the Middles States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA-CESS). Since then, the school has continued to grow and expand its program offerings. In 2009 AIMS became the first school in New Jersey to offer an ARMRIT accredited MRI Technology program, and just a few years later the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program became one of the select CAAHEP accredited sonography programs in the state. The Diagnostic Cardiac Sonography, Cardiovascular Technology, and Neurodiagnostic Technology programs have also been awarded programmatic accreditation by CAAHEP.

On September 17, 2015, AIMS opened a separate educational center in Edison, NJ. The Edison Center provides additional classroom space for the institution, and it offers several educational programs for new students as well.

In early 2018, AIMS earned its second institutional accreditation when it became accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). In addition to becoming institutionally accredited by ABHES, the school sought and was awarded programmatic accreditation for the Surgical Technology program.

In 2023, the NJ Office of the Secretary of Higher Education (NJ OSHE) approved AIMS Education to begin offering associate degree and credit-bearing programs. As part of its transition from a career school to a private college, the institution rebranded itself AIMS Education College of Health Sciences. 

Today, AIMS graduates continue to thrive in all corners of the healthcare industry. AIMS Education College of Health Sciences is recognized as one of the top healthcare training facilities in New Jersey and has developed affiliations with some of the largest teaching hospitals in New Jersey. It is also one of the only private colleges in the tri-state area that offers healthcare education and training for such a broad range of careers.
