The Applied Technology Field of Interest programs give you the hands-on skills you need to design, develop, or repair high-tech equipment and processes. Students studying in these areas often find work after completing introductory classes and are able to expand their knowledge, skills, and education while earning a livable wage.
Maricopa Community Colleges offers programs in automotive repair, HVAC, airline operations, CAD, construction, welding, electronics repair, electrical technologies, and much more. Classes are scheduled to accommodate both full-time and working students and align to industry standards.
If you are ready to find the Applied Technology program that is right for you, select the option from the drop-down below that best fits your current goals.
University Transfer and Associate Degrees
With the university transfer option, you can complete most of your
general education coursework at the Maricopa Community Colleges and have
guaranteed acceptance to one of our over 40 university and college
partners to complete your Bachelor degree.
There are other Associate of Applied Science degrees that have been
designed to provide seamless transfer into a bachelor program, but
acceptance is not guaranteed. For more information, see the Get an
Associate Degree option below. The Associate degrees in this list give you
the opportunity for an in-depth study of your chosen field. If you decide
to move on to a four-year degree after graduation, you will need to work
with an advisor to confirm which classes will transfer, and acceptance is
not guaranteed.
Students at any Maricopa Community College may need to complete
courses at more than one of our colleges.
Certificates
A Certificate prepares you for entry-level work in your chosen field and
requires fewer classes than the Associate degree or university transfer
options. There are several types of certificates available, including
career, trade, and academic certificates.
Credits earned in a certificate program can often be used toward an
Associate degree. For more information, speak with an advisor.
