Automotive students may participate in the cooperative education program during each semester. Students work at an approved site and receive credit toward graduation. Due to the sequencing of courses, students may only enter the program in the Fall semester. If student demand for the program exceeds capacity, then a waiting list for admission will be maintained. Students on the waiting list who are at college-level in English and at the MTH 03 level or higher in mathematics, or who have completed all needed developmental course work, will be given priority for admission if space becomes available in the program.
The program is Master Certified in all eight Automotive areas by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence and has received the Award for Excellence in Post-Secondary Vocational Education from the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers of the U.S. and the American Vocational Association.
Automotive students must have a valid driver’s license.
