Electronics Certificate

This 16 credit-hour certificate program is designed to prepare students for careers in the field of electronics and other related technology industries. The curriculum is very flexible as it allows students to choose from a number of electronics courses in many diverse technology areas and is tailored to provide entry-level career training in a relatively short time. A broad range of electronics courses provides considerable emphasis on analysis, operation, application, installation and servicing. Many courses do not require a prerequisite. However, for those courses that do, please consult with the program coordinator.

Students completing this program may find employment in various entry-level positions in technical sales, manufacturing and quality control, and customer service.

Students may also continue their education by pursuing an associate in applied science degree. Students considering this option are encouraged to meet with the program coordinator and a Student Development faculty member prior to beginning the program, and also when planning their schedule each semester.
