Overview
High school students who want to assure admission to Jefferson's bioscience technologies program can apply to the Plan a College Education (PACE) 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. Students must maintain an appropriate GPA and then transfer into the 2+2 program. Although admitted to the program, students must apply to the program of choice (biotechnology, cytotechnology or medical laboratory science) in their sophomore year.
