208 Clarion University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences Program The Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences has an academic preparation of two years (60 semester hours including general education) at Clarion University and continues with a 24-month, 60-semester hours course of clinical study in a hospital-based school of Radiologic Technology. The hospital-based school of Radiologic Technology is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Educational Programs in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). Entry into the general education portion of the program is available to individuals meeting university admission criteria. Upon successful completion of three semesters at Clarion University, the student is eligible to apply for admission to an affiliated hospital school. Hospital-based clinical education has limited space and competitive admission standards. Admission to the Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Science program at Clarion University does not guarantee admission to an affiliated hospital-based program, although we commit to prudent enrollment management to maximize the success of the students we accept. At the completion of the second year of study at Clarion University, students enter the Radiologic Technology Program at the medical center. Upon successful completion of this course of study, the student is awarded a Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences Degree and is eligible to sit for the National Registry Test sponsored by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Successful completion of this examination entitles the graduate technologist to use the credentials R.T. (R) Registered Technologist (Radiographer) and practice as an R.T. in most states in the United States. Admission Policy Students interested in the Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences Degree will be accepted into the university using the standard criteria for admission. Retention in the program requires the student to maintain a cumulative 2.00 QPA and attain a grade of “C” or higher in all required professional courses and all required major courses. Students who apply for admission into an affiliated medical center’s two-year radiologic technology program must do so in the second semester of their sophomore year. Application is made to the medical center’s radiologic technology program and acceptance is at the discretion of the admission committee of the agency. Students will be accepted by the medical center on the basis of their university records, application materials, and interviews with the medical center program director and admissions committee.
