The two-year Electrical and Power Transmission Technology program is designed to prepare qualified graduates to work in the electrical industry.  The curriculum provides a selection of electrical courses that meet the needs of electrical utility companies and electricians for commercial or residential as well as the goals and desires of the student.  Students, with the aid of their advisor, create a degree plan suited for the needs of electricians or line workers.

              Candidates for graduation must complete a minimum of 60 hours of course work with a minimum of 32 hours selected from the appropriate ELPT or LNWK courses to receive an Associate of Science degree.  An optional Certificate of Proficiency is also offered where students must complete a minimum of 32 hours of course work.

          Six basic courses are offered both on-campus and on-line to meet the needs of traditional students and those associated with the Texas Electric Cooperatives / Safety and Loss Control program.  These on-line courses are taken and added to eight of the short courses taught by TEC personnel to meet the requirements of either the AAS or the Certificate degrees.  This agreement with the TEC is available only to those able to attend the TEC courses.  Visit the TEC website for further information of this subject.  Texas Electric Cooperatives
