ONLINE APPLICATION

Acceptance into the program is based on a point system. Students scoring the highest total admission points will be admitted to the AAS Surgical Technology program. Applicants will be ranked according to the priority points total. The program accepts a maximum of 24 students. Remaining candidates will be listed as alternates. If any admitted candidates are unable to begin the program for that particular semester, the next highest scoring alternate will be admitted. Any applicant (including alternates who did not get in) wishing to reapply the following semester must go through the admission procedure again.
