The College provides a wide variety of opportunities in two year programs for students to engage in technical training.
The programs offered are designed to provide a solid foundation in general education and in the specialized knowledge and skills needed for employment after graduation.
Students are awarded an Associate in Applied Science degree upon completion of these programs of study.
Diploma Programs
Diploma programs have been established to prepare students for entry-level employment in fields ranging from semiprofessional to semiskilled. These programs are usually of one year or less in duration and courses are generally offered day and evening for part-time and full-time students.
