Electrical Technology (AAS, CAS, CTS)
Power your future with our Electrical Technology program. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to advance your skills, we offer flexible pathways to enter the electrical field. Earn a Certificate of Applied Science (CAS) after two semesters for foundational training in residential, commercial and industrial wiring, or continue to a four-semester Associate of Applied Science (AAS) for more in-depth expertise and expanded career opportunities. Prefer hands-on experience from day one? The Electrical Apprentice (CTS) pathway lets you work full-time as a registered apprentice while taking evening classes. No matter the route, you’ll gain the skills and credentials to power your future in the electrical industry.
My favorite thing is that it combines a love of working with your hands and academic knowledge. You need to have good math and problem-solving skills, but you still get to work with your hands and actually build stuff.

Our goal is to kindle the fire of students' curiosity for the power of the unseen through an equal mix of lab work, theoretical discussion, practical application of formulae and thorough code study.
