“I chose to attend EMCC because of the affordability and closeness to home but more importantly because of the program selection! What I like the most about the school is that the community is really supportive and full of opportunities if you just take them!”

Regardless of whether transfer credit is being sought, applicants must disclose all prior colleges attended.

To be considered for admission, all prerequisites must be successfully completed prior to file review. Applications for students currently enrolled in prerequisite courses will not be reviewed for admission until a final grade is received. (Updated transcripts for courses taken at institutions other than EMCC are required upon course completion in this case.) The prerequisites (high school equivalent) required for admission to EMCC’s Surgical Technology program are:
*It is the responsibility of the applicant to have the final grades from prerequisite courses taken through adult education or at another college mailed to the Admissions Office. (In determining whether an application is “complete” and ready to be reviewed by the Admissions Committee, adult education transcripts are not considered if admission personnel are not aware that you are currently enrolled in these courses.) Applicants are strongly encouraged to follow up and ensure that all materials have arrived for your file. Additionally, if you are currently enrolled in prerequisite courses and/or Nursing general education courses, make sure the Admissions Committee is aware of the course name, location, and anticipated completion date.
The Admissions Committee respectfully requests that all questions concerning the Surgical Technology admission process and transfer credit be directed as follows (e-mail preferred in all instances):
