Overview
High school students who want to assure admission to Jefferson's Radiologic Sciences program can apply to the Plan a College Education (PACE) program in their senior year of high school. PACE students attend any accredited college or university for two years to complete their prerequisites and liberal arts education, and then transfer into the Multicompetency BS in Radiologic Sciences program. PACE students must complete all prerequisites for both modalities of the Multicompetency BS program. For a list of schools with which Jefferson has partnership agreements, click here. Although admitted to Jefferson, students must apply to the modality of choice in their sophomore year. The department cannot guarantee acceptance to the program of choice.
The Multicompetency program is for students with no education in the radiologic sciences or a health discipline to earn a BS in Radiologic Sciences while acquiring training in a combination of modalities.
Modality options: Students must consult an admissions counselor or a Radiologic Sciences faculty member when choosing modalities. Click on the name of the modality to learn more about it.
