Admissions Requirements

Students can be accepted into the Electronics Technology Associate in Science, the Electromechanical Technology Associate in Science, or the Telecommunications Technology Associate in Science; however, students should note that many of the program specific courses have ENG and/or MAT prerequisites.

 

Next Step

Continue your education towards an Associates degree in Electronics, Electromechanical, or Telecommunications and/or enter the workforce as an entry level Electronics Technician.


Technology is central to the economy of the 21st century, and the demand for skilled technicians continues to increase steadily. Knowledge and skills in electronics are essential for those seeking careers in manufacturing, service, and technical sales and support.

 

The Electronics Technology Certificate provides students with a foundation of core Electronics skills and knowledge that has a broad application in the field of electronics. These skills are essential to anyone pursuing a career in high-tech manufacturing, equipment installation and support, telecommunications, photonics, or technical sales and support.

The requirements for the Electronics Technology Certificate are included in clusters A and B, which is the first year core curriculum, of the associate Degree programs in Electronics, Electromechanical, and Telecommunications Technology. The Certificate requires 29 credits, which can be completed in two semesters of full-time study. This is useful for those who are looking for a short-term educational program that can be completed in one year. Students who earn the certificate may then continue on toward one of the associate degree paths in the future.
