This degree program is designed to provide the student with the knowledge of the mechanical
systems used in modern automobiles and the diagnostic and repair skills required by
dealerships, independent repair facilities, automotive manufacturers, and parts suppliers
and distributors. Our state-of-the-art tools, diagnostic equipment, and lab facilities
allow for extensive hands-on training. Upon completion of this career program, the
student will be prepared for employment in an automotive field or transfer to a four-year
