JCC graduates can transfer credits into several State University of New York Upstate Medical University degree programs as the result of an updated articulation agreement between the two institutions.
The agreement guarantees junior standing and the opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree in medical imaging/radiography, medical imaging/ultrasound, medical technology, medical biotechnology, radiation therapy, respiratory therapy, and nursing in two years at SUNY Upstate.
Upstate Medical’s 2+2 Early Admission Program for high school seniors, also included in the agreement, guarantees students acceptance into one of the bachelor’s degree programs at SUNY Upstate. Program requirements include completion of at least three years of Regents or honors level courses in math and science, strong leadership abilities, participation in extracurricular activities, and competitive SAT or ACT scores.
To be eligible for participation, high school students must be in the upper quartile in their class, be accepted by JCC into the program during their senior year of high school (two years prior to the date of entry at SUNY Upstate), and maintain specified academic standards and involvement in the health profession.
Details about the early admission program can be found at http://www.upstate.edu/prospective/basics/early.php. High school students who are interested in applying for acceptance into the program should contact JCC’s admissions office, 1.800.388.8557.
Upstate Medical, located in Syracuse, offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in a variety of health-related programs.
