- Work closely with your advisor for program planning!
The 2-year pathway starts in the Fall quarter, though courses may be started any quarter, this will extend time to degree.
This program can be completed on campus or hybrid. Courses are offered on-campus or hybrid (part on-campus, part online)
90 Credits = 6 Quarters* if you take 14-16 credits each quarter
*Your specific route may take longer than 6 quarters depending on the number of credits you take each quarter and where you start in your math and English pathways.
Manufacturing and Process Technology provides students the ability to specialize their training to work in a variety of industry settings in our area including manufacturing facilities, data centers, food or chemical processing plants, and other businesses with need for regular facility or equipment maintenance.
This degree prepares students to pursue the Bachelor or Applied Science – Applied Management at Big Bend Community College.
