Competitive Selection Health Science Programs

Admission to Savannah Technical College and the competitive selection process are two distinct processes (College admissions and selection through competitive program selection); students are responsible for understanding both. Please meet with the health sciences academic advisor or desired program department head to determine if you meet the program eligibility requirements to apply.

STEP 1: COLLEGE ADMISSIONS PROCESS

To be accepted into the College and qualify for selection, students must complete all STC admissions requirements: please refer to the STC catalog for a full list of admissions requirements or visit “How to Apply

STEP 2: COMPETITIVE HEALTH SCIENCE PROGRAMS SELECTION PROCESS

Acceptance into the College does not guarantee admission into a desired health science program. The competitive selection process is a separate process that must be completed to be considered for entry into the program major. To be considered for a seat in a competitive health science program, a student must:

  • Successfully complete all required courses.
  • Take the required entrance test.
  • Submit a Competitive Selection Health Science Programs application online.
  • Pay the $25 Competitive Selection Fee at the college’s campus shop (Savannah, Effingham, Liberty campuses) and submit a copy/photo of your payment receipt to healthsciences@savannahtech.edu
  • Once selections are made, all applicants will be notified by email of their acceptance or denial for admission into a competitive program approximately 4 – 6 weeks after the application deadline.

All steps above must be completed before the competitive program application deadline. Applicants must use an STC email to submit a competitive selection application. Applications for competitive selection programs are only live during the following schedule:
