Cardiovascular Technology, Certificate-Only
Due to low enrollment and changes in lab/clinical sites, Piedmont College is phasing out the CVTE program over the next year. The program will be closing at the end of the 2021-2022 academic year. Piedmont College is no longer accepting students into the four-year Bachelor of Science program effective Spring 2021. Certificate-only students remain eligible to apply for the Fall 2021 cohort through March 31, 2021.
Certificate-only is an option (not a degree program) which may be requested by a prospective candidate who holds either a Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree from an accredited institution in a health-related field (which must include a two course sequence in Human Anatomy and Physiology with Labs, one additional natural science course with lab [physics preferred, but not required], and one course in medical terminology). Students pursuing a certificate will complete 11 professional education courses (33 credits) and a concurrent one-year internship at the Northeast Georgia Heart Center beginning in the fall semester and finishing the following summer. Admission requirements are the same as those for degree-seeking students.
