If you are not a current student at Chattanooga State, please complete a College application online and complete all admission requirements. Once admitted to the college, you will be assigned an Academic Advisor who will help create your Academic Plan.
Each program has an application checklist that will guide you regarding when and what information is required. Attending an information session will also help answer questions regarding the application process, requirements, TEAS and point calculations.
Yes, however, each program has different requirements so follow the application checklist carefully.
Each program has different general education course requirements. In some programs, all general education courses must be complete prior to starting the program. Likewise, some programs give points for courses completed, but not all have to be complete to apply. Attending a program information session will help clarify a specific program point calculation process.
Program selection is a competitive process based on an objective point system. Points are awarded based on completion of general education courses, grades awarded in those specific courses, TEAS test results, and/or any other materials that may be required for specific programs. Attending a program information session will help clarify a specific program point calculation process.
There isn’t an exact number of points needed to be accepted. The applicant pool is filtered according to total points and ranked accordingly. Students scoring the highest number of points are considered for the program. Attending a program information session will help clarify the details.
