Forging Partnerships with a Purpose
Articulation Programs

Articulatory Institution: SUNY Upstate Medical University

Qualified Le Moyne students may apply to transfer into a variety of programs offered at Upstate (respiratory therapy, medical imaging (Radiography, CT and MRI, Ultrasound), medical biotechnology, medical technology, radiation therapy). Most of these Upstate programs would begin after students had completed their sophomore year at Le Moyne, would be approximately two years in length, and would lead to a Bachelor of Science degree from Upstate. For all programs, students would have to complete certain academic and non-academic prerequisites, and have achieved certain minimum grade point averages in order to be able to transfer to Upstate.
