Admission is based on three criteria. You must have a GPA of at least 2.0 and have taken and successfully passed either BIO 107 or CHE 120 with a C or better. Admission is also based on your date of application. You do not need to take both BIO 107 and CHE 120. If you are also considering a major in Nursing, it is suggested you take CHE 120 instead of BIO 107. If you are sure of your decision to enter Surgical Technology, then it is strongly recommended that you take BIO 107 as this is a good introduction class for future Surgical Anatomy and Physiology courses.
