Technology Studies, A.S., Technology Education Option

Connecticut College of Technology Pathways Program

Program Design

The Technology Education Option, Technology Studies associate degree program prepares students for a career teaching technology, K-12, upon completion of a B.S. degree in technology and engineering education. Consultation with a faculty advisor is strongly recommended.

Curriculum

Students may enroll in this program either full or part-time. Courses are offered both during the day or evenings. For students not yet prepared for the required mathematical courses, MCC offers a wide range of developmental course offerings.
