Instructions for how to apply to BC & the Radiography Program, information about prerequisite courses, and other topics concerning admission requirements & policies can all be found in the Online College Catalog.

Program Selection Criteria

Once students have successfully completed all prerequisite courses (i.e., ENC 1101, HSC 1531, BSC 1085, BSC 1085L, & MTB 1310 or MAT 1033) & have applied to the Radiography Program with the required minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA, admission will be based on a point system. Points will be awarded for the number of courses completed toward the A.A.S. Degree in Radiography.

Points for Courses Completed Toward the Degree:

Only those courses required for the A.A.S. Degree in Radiography (exclusive of the prerequisite courses & pre-health science core requirements) will be used to award points. One point will be awarded for each course successfully completed with a minimum of a “C” (or “S”) grade regardless of the number of credits. The points awarded for courses completed at BC or that are transferred in as equivalent are as follows:

*Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) students who meet all of the application criteria will be awarded one (1) additional point.

Selection of Students:

Students with the highest point totals will be offered admission to the program based on availability. In the event of a tie, admission will additionally be based on date of application (first come, first serve). Students are therefore, encouraged to apply as soon as possible after all prerequisite courses are completed. The earliest applications can be submitted is September 1 (i.e., 11 months in advance of the program start date in August of the following year). Only those applications meeting the program selection criteria will be considered. Incomplete applications or those received before students have completed the prerequisite courses will be returned to the applicant.

In the event that both points & date of application are identical, admission will then be based on the student’s grade point average (GPA) derived from the six (6) courses completed toward the degree listed above.

Students selected for the program will be notified by the Admissions Department via e-mail during the month of March. Those accepted will be required to attend a pre-admission session & accept or decline their place in the program. Students can defer entry into the program until the following year by request. However, such students must enter the program the following August. Those who do not enter the following year will have to reapply for admission. Students who do not attend the pre-admission session and/or contact Admissions to accept, decline, or defer entry into the program will need to reapply for the following year.

Waiting List:

There is no waiting list to get into the Radiography Program at Broward College. Each year applicants are accepted based on the criteria stated above. Those who are not admitted must reapply for the following year.
