62 Automotive Technology graduates will be technically competent and possess strong interpersonal skills. They will have the ability to communicate effectively, be able to solve problems, work in teams, and will have developed an understanding of the need for continued professional development. The Automotive Technology bachelor's degree is designed as a "2+2" program building upon associate degree graduates who have received a degree in automotive service technology, heavy duty truck technology, collision repair, diesel technology, or similar programs. Students who have completed their associate degrees in one of these programs will be admitted as juniors and can complete their baccalaureate degree within two years.
