Nursing programs at Central Georgia Technical College
The nursing offerings tracked in federal data here are the practical nursing (LPN/LVN) certificate or diploma and associate degree in nursing (ADN). Recent annual completions came to about 270 practical nursing completers and about 29 associate-degree nursing graduates. Programs at this level are the faster, lower-cost way into the profession: an ADN typically takes about two years once prerequisites are done, and many graduates later add a bachelor’s through an RN-to-BSN program.
Cost and student outcomes
Published tuition and fees are about $3,400 a year for in-state students and $6,000 for out-of-state students. The average net price (what students receiving federal aid pay after grants and scholarships) is about $8,900 a year. About 33% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Students who finish the associate level and borrow leave with median federal loan debt of about $14,100. Federal earnings data puts median pay for those associate-level nursing graduates at roughly $67,200 one year after finishing and $79,500 four years out. These are estimates for graduates with reported earnings, not a promise. Schoolwide, about 45% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time and 56% return for a second year.
Applying and licensure
The federal data does not report an overall admission rate for this school, which is typical of open-access colleges. Admission to the nursing major or program is often a separate, competitive step with prerequisites, minimum grades, and capped enrollment. Check deadlines with the nursing department, and read our nursing school requirements guide to prepare. After graduation, the path to a license goes through the Georgia Board of Nursing and the NCLEX exam. Ask the program about its accreditation (ACEN or CCNE) and state approval, and see how it stacks up against other nursing schools in Georgia.
