Our Radiation Therapy program is 5 semesters long and leads to a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Professional Studies degree. The program can only be taken on a full-time basis. We admit a limited number of students each year so that students receive close, personal attention. Beginning in the fall only, the program includes five consecutive semesters of classroom and clinical courses. The first two semesters include in-person classes on campus. This is followed by the summer semester of only clinical education courses. The last two semesters of the program include both clinical courses and online distant learning courses.

Starting in the summer of their first year, students complete 42 weeks of clinical training in oncology centers. Students request a region at the time of interview and a decision about a region assignment is made by the Admissions Committee at the time of acceptance. The regions are Central New York, Western New York, Capital/Hudson Valley, the North Country, and the Southern Tier.

A student will be in their assigned region for nearly all of the 42 weeks. Clinical placement is strategically scheduled by faculty to give students exposure to a range of equipment, treatments, and sites.
