ASSOCIATE'S PROGRAM

Pellissippi State Technical Community College (PSTCC) offers two online degrees of interest to all IBEW and NECA members. The first is an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in general technology with an emphasis in Electrical Construction. This degree can run concurrent with your apprenticeship or be started as a journeyman. The degree is comprised of 15 - 17 credits in general education, 9 - 10 credits of a technology core and 36 credits of major and guided electives. Thirty of the thirty-six elective credits will be granted with proof of completion of your apprenticeship as ACE credits. All education core credits are available online. The AAS in General Technology is a terminal degree and only 16 to 20 credits are likely to transfer to a 4 year institution.

The second degree option is a two year Associate of Science Degree (AS) which will meet the general education requirements for the four year baccalaureate degree in Construction Management Technology. You may switch to this degree path at any time; however, the sooner you make this decision the less credit you will lose. This AS degree is offered entirely online through PSTCC. You must complete college English and math at a local institution before being admitted to PSTCC. This online degree program is designed to meet most four year institution general education requirements. It will transfer seamlessly to the four year degree in Construction Management Technology at Middle Tennessee State University.
