What is a typical schedule after you start the program?

The Surgical Technology program is 5 days a week, both fall and spring semesters.

  • The fall semester lasts until noon every day, except Tuesday.  On Tuesday the day will end around 3 p.m.
  • The spring semester is a 3 full days of clinical each week (until around 3 p.m.) and 2 days until noon.
  • There are projects and activities that may be scheduled outside of these hours.

If a student must work, working in the fall is not as difficult as in the spring because of clinical.  Part-time employment would be the recommended direction in this case.
