What is the Electrical Technology Program?

 The Electrical Technology program prepares individuals to install, operate, maintain, and repair electrically-energized systems such as residential, commercial, and industrial electric wiring, and D.C. and A.C. motors, controls, and electrical distribution panels.  Instruction in the use of test equipment is included

Certificate programs in electricity require a minimum of 34 semester credit hours beyond the essential skills level.  Students desiring to receive only a certificate may substitute other courses for the six hours of academic credit in the proposed curriculum.  Technical programs require a minimum of 65 semester credit hours above the secondary level which includes a recommended 15 hours of academic core courses.  Successful completion of the two-year program leads to an Associate in Applied Science degree.
