RADIOLOGICAL SCIENCE Contact: Professor Lisa Fiorentino, Program Director Students may earn a bachelor’s degree in radiological science after taking the required courses at Pitt-Bradford and successfully completing Bradford Regional Medical Center’s (BRMC) two-year School of Radiography program. The two-year School of Radiography program has been provided by BRMC for many years to prepare certified professionals to work in clinical settings as radiographers. This new program will give students two ways to earn a bachelor’s degree in radiological science, accommodating both incoming freshmen and those who have already completed BRMC’s program. The main track is what educators call a 1+2+1 program: First-year students complete two full semesters of course work at Pitt-Bradford; then during the second and third years, students pursue full-time study at BRMC’s School of Radiography. When they have successfully completed that program and have been certified, they will return to Pitt-Bradford for the final year to complete their bachelor’s degree. The second option—called the 2+2 program—will be available to those people already certified and employed in radiography and who have graduated from a program accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiological Technology such as the one at BRMC. These students attend Pitt-Bradford for two years of full-time study or its equivalent in part-time study to earn a bachelor’s degree. In both options, 50 academic credits from the accredited radiographic program are applied toward the 120 credits needed to graduate from Pitt-Bradford with a bachelor’s degree.
