Thanks for your interest in the Radiological Sciences program at Penn State Schuylkill. The application cycle for fall 2024 admission begins Tuesday, August 1, 2023, and the process for applying to our program is outlined below. Students must have a completed application on file by December 1 for priority consideration. Admission decisions will begin to be released at the end of December.
