Vice President of Career and Technical Education: Jeremy Smith

Career—Technical programs are designed for persons who are preparing to seek employment after completion of the program. Persons who plan to transfer to a four year institution should request that institution evaluate those technical courses and determine whether they would be accepted for transfer.

Special courses will be offered when the demand and interest are shown for such courses. Evening classes will be offered in any of the technical courses when it becomes evident that there is sufficient demand (a minimum of 10 students). In the event of updates and changes in the curriculum, the student's advisor will make the necessary schedule changes.
