Electrical and Industrial Automation Technology
Program Plans
The Electrical and Industrial Automation department offers two program plans.
A Diploma program and an A.A.S. Degree program are available. The core of the requirements in the Diploma plan are technical oriented courses with a minimal liberal education component. The A.A.S Degree program is a joint program with technical courses offered at the Eveleth Campus and liberal education courses offered at the Virginia Campus.
