At the advanced level students
complete at least one
program concentration option particular to their desired
career goals. These courses are systems-based and deal directly with
equipment they will work with in industry. Students may also elect to
pursue the
Specialization in Electronics Management for those with work
experience through either the on-campus program or at one of five
off-campus sites.
The curriculum flow allows entry into the
program with only a high school diploma, with an AAS in Electronics
Technology from community colleges or with appropriate military and
industry work experience. Depending on experience and transfer credits,
degree completion can be achieved in as little as 2 years. Those with non-electronic AAS
or AS degrees are also encouraged to contact us - a plan is available to
graduate in only 3 years.
For more information on degree
requirements, please see the
EST Fact Sheet.
