Surgical Technology

Degree · 4 semesters / 66 credits

Surgical technologists prepare operating rooms by establishing sterile fields, setting up instruments, and assisting surgeons during procedures. Delta's CAAHEP-accredited AAS program runs four semesters as a cohort, with more than 540 clinical hours at area hospitals and surgical centers. Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Certifying Exam and consistently exceed national average CST pass rates. Delta has offered this program since 1974 and graduates are actively recruited by Michigan hospitals, often receiving job offers before graduation.
