Program Goal

The goal of this program is for local workforce preparation and advancement. This program will prepare a student for an entry level position at a local water/wastewater agency, while also allowing those already in the industry to advance in their current career path.

Program Objective

Our objective is to educate and prepare all students, including those of diverse backgrounds, experiences, and abilities for careers and advancement in the water industry. Our committed, highly trained faculty and partnerships with Local, State, and National entities ensure that our graduates will have successful careers that improve their lives, their communities, and the economy.

This is a program change with the intentions of merging the existing Water Technology Education program and Wastewater Technology Education program into s single designation, Water Technology Education. There will still be two distinct degrees awarded in Water Technology and Wastewater Technology. Classes will also be elevated to the transferrable level, while adding two new electives.
