The Bachelor of Science Degree in Radiologic Sciences Program Admissions Committee makes the final decision regarding an applicant’s acceptance into the Bachelor’s degree Program. Applicants are considered for admission when they meet general College admissions requirements (see General College Admission in the Admissions Information section) and meet the following qualifications:

1. Possess an Associate degree in Radiography, Radiologic Technology, Radiologic Sciences or Nuclear Medicine Technology from a regionally accredited institution or a JRCERT accredited program.
2. Achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50 with no grade below a “C” (2.00). Students without an Associate degree in Radiography, Radiologic Technology, Radiologic Sciences, or Nuclear Medicine Technology must complete each required cognate course for an Associate degree with a minimum grade of “C” (2.00) and earn a cumulative cognate GPA of 2.50 before being considered for admission into the Baccalaureate Degree Program (see Diploma Graduates in the Nursing Section).
3. Current registration by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) or the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB).
4. Submit three satisfactory recommendations on FHCHS recommendation forms. Recommendations submitted at the time of initial application to the College will meet this requirement for new FHCHS students.^* All applicants must submit a recommendation from an employer/supervisor if employed within the last five years.
5. Applicants for whom English is not their first language, please see the English Language Proficiency policy in the Admissions Information section.

^* Recommendation forms expire after three years of receipt by the Office of Enrollment Services.

Associate Degree Graduates

Graduates of regionally accredited Associate degree programs will be considered to have met Associate degree general education and cognate requirements. If ENGL 101 or 102 (or equivalent) were not included in the Associate degree, they must be completed as part of the Baccalaureate degree program.

Progression

Students may progress in the Baccalaureate degree program when they:

1. Have a current ARRT license.
2. Earn a minimum grade of “C” (2.00) in each Baccalaureate degree program course and maintain a minimum Baccalaureate degree program GPA of 2.50.
3. Earn a minimum grade of “C” (2.00) in each general education course.
4. Successfully repeat all courses in which the minimum grade “C” (2.00) was not achieved. No more than two courses may be repeated in the following combinations: one radiography course and one general education course, or two general education courses.

Readmission

Students who do not enroll in coursework leading toward the Baccalaureate degree for a period of 12 months must apply for reactivation to the Baccalaureate degree program by completing a FHCHS Reactivation/Readmissions Card and submit current licensure. Students who do not enroll in course work leading toward a Baccalaureate degree for more than 36 months must apply for readmission to the Baccalaureate degree program by completing a new application and submitting letters of recommendation and current licensure.

Completion

Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences will consider students for graduation and conferral of a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Radiologic Sciences when they have met the general College requirements for graduation (see Graduation in the Academic Information section) and have:

1. Completed a minimum of 124 trimester hours of credit.
2. Completed the prescribed course of study (see “Curriculum” below) for the degree, with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50.
3. Maintained a minimum grade of “C” (2.00) in each radiography and cognate course.
4. Complete the minimum number of credit hours at FHCHS as listed in the General Degree Requirement in the Academic Information section. For students entering the Baccalaureate program, a minimum of 36 credit hours must be completed at FHCHS.
