The Electrical Technology Program focuses on preparing students for various entry-level electrical positions in industry and the building trades. The study of electrical theory in the classroom and the practical application of that theory in labs provide the foundation of this program. Students enrolled in the Electrical Technology program are required to achieve a minimum grade of "C" in the technical core and in those courses selected as technical electives.
An Associate of Applied Science degree is available through General Occupational/Technical Studies.
