The Program

Students with either a Certificate or AS degree in Electronics Technology are qualified for job entry in this fast-growing field. Technicians already working in related fields will be able to broaden their skills and knowledge. Students with the AS degree will also have demonstrated a broader educational basis and writing ability that can give them an advantage for promotional opportunities in the future.

While units in this program are transferable to many institutions, students should consult a counselor for information.
