Welding Technology: Arc Welding (A.S.)
The Associate of Science degree program in Arc Welding combines general education courses with courses designed to provide students with the skills required to obtain certification in the SMAW and FCAW welding processes (e.g., multiple structural steel welding certifications). The degree program requirements include technical math skills and reading blueprints used in the industry, as well as an Advanced Arc Welding Laboratory. Students completing this program will obtain the necessary technical knowledge, practical welding skills, and welding certifications required to enter the workforce as a Construction Welder. Various municipalities, fabrication companies, and local unions seek capable
