It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award associate, bachelor's, master's, specialist and doctoral degrees. More than 1,000 health sciences students study at Radford University Carilion in Roanoke, Virginia.

International undergraduates submit an online application, transcripts in English and proof of English (for example TOEFL 68 or IELTS 6.0), and pay an US$800 enrollment deposit after admission.
