The Surgical Technology (ST) Program is designed to cover both the academic and clinical skills necessary to perform as a surgical technologist. The program begins fall semester of each year. Certain prerequisite courses must be completed prior to admission to the professional portion, the 2nd year, of this program. Students will complete this Associate Degree program in sequence with prerequisites and Essential Learning courses the first year. The application process will occur in the spring semester. Once accepted to the program, the second year will prepare students to work as operating room technologists and assist in surgical operations.
