Computer/ Business Equipment Technology
(2 Semesters)Program Coordinator and Instructor: Sweat
Instructors: Hill, Smith
Courses listed will be taught in sequential blocks of instruction. Successful completion of a course is required before the student can progress in the program. If the student fails any math, theory, or lab course, then that course must be repeated and a passing grade of C- or better obtained before the student can advance in the program. However, a C- could prevent a student from graduating if the cumulative grade point average is less than 2.0 (a C- equals 1.7). A student must have a 2.0 GPA in the program's required curriculum in order to be eligible for a certificate or degree.
Upon completion of the Associate of Applied Science degree, a Bachelor of Applied Technology degree is available to a student with the completion of formally approved academic courses.
Program length will vary depending on student's academic qualifications at time of acceptance.
Based on keyboarding skills, student may be required to take a 1 credit keyboarding class in order to meet the competencies of the program.
