The southern regional accrediting association on Monday approved the merger of Jefferson College of Health Sciences into Radford University. The Roanoke, Va.-based private nonprofit health sciences college will be known as Radford University Carilion as of July 10, when the merger into the public university becomes official. Jefferson, which has about 770 undergraduate students, offers nursing and allied health programs. The combination with Radford will make the university's nursing program the second largest in Virginia.
