This program provides students with training to the standards of the American Welding Society curriculum, which prepares students for the AWS written certification tests, and for employment in the welding/fabrication industry. Students completing the two-year degree will acquire the skills required of managerial and technical training personnel, preparing them to move beyond entry-level jobs into other welding-related careers.Students completing welding certificates can return to school while employed and use course work already completed toward the two-year degree.
Important: Degree and certificate requirements may change! Please consult an academic advisor before enrolling.
