Schoolcraft program code # 1YC.00125

The certificate for electronics provides the student with a solid foundation for many jobs that require a thorough understanding of electronic fundamentals. Completion of the certificate program also offers the student the opportunity to pursue advanced technical credentials in healthcare, in manufacturing, or in computer systems.

Students who satisfactorily complete the program requirements qualify for a certificate of program completion.

Not all courses are offered each semester. Students should work with an academic advisor to develop a schedule that will work for them. Students planning to transfer should check the transfer institution’s requirements/guides or discuss their options with an academic advisor. Number of credits may vary depending on the course selection.
