• Competitive Health Science Programs

Associate Degree Nursing, Cardiovascular Technology, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Echocardiography, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Care, Surgical Technology, and Vascular Technology are competitive programs. Admissions to Augusta Technical College and the competitive ranking processes are two separate processes. To be accepted into the college and qualify for ranking, applicants MUST complete all Augusta Technical College admissions requirements. Applicants who meet the college admission criteria are eligible to enroll at the college to complete prerequisite courses.

Competitive Process

Acceptance into the college does not guarantee admission into any Competitive Allied Health program. The competitive process requires submission of a Competitive Ranking Application, successful completion of all prerequisites, and completion of any additional curriculum/requirements by the designated deadline. Primarily, students will be ranked by a weighted score to be calculated using the math and science course GPA. In the event of a tie for the final spot, a secondary ranking factor of the prerequisite course GPA will be used. Applicants who are not selected for admission are given the option to consider a program change or resubmit an admission application and a new Competitive Ranking Application by the next ranking cycle deadline.

If you have satisfied (or will satisfy) ALL prerequisites by the designated deadline, please follow the steps below to complete the Competitive Ranking Application process.

Are you a NEW STUDENT (this includes transfer students and returning students [who have not attended the college for two or more semesters])?

New students should proceed to steps 1-3 before completing a ranking application.

1. Complete an online application for admission.

2. Official transcripts from post-secondary institutions previously attended to The Office of Student Records can be submitted to the Office of Student Records for evaluation.
