Acceptance to the college does not guarantee immediate acceptance into the Bachelor in Applied Science in Advanced Manufacturing Technology program. Prior to consideration of acceptance, the following must be met:
- Applicants must have completed an associate degree in one of these six majors or a comparable program of study:
- Mechatronics Technology (formerly Industrial Maintenance Technology)
- Machine Tool Technology
- Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Programming and Operations
- Mechanical Engineering Technology
- Electronics Engineering Technology
- Engineering Design Technology
- Students may transfer up to 42 technical program credits from one of the above associate degrees. Students with fewer than 42 technical credits will be required to take additional electives during the BAS program. Also, students who haven’t completed a social science and/or humanities course will be required to complete such courses during the BAS program.
- Transfer credits will not be awarded for any 300 or 400 level course from a non-baccalaureate degree institution.
- Applicants must have a GPA of 2.5 and a grade of “C” or higher in all technical courses within the completed associate degree.
- Applicants must have completed ENG 101 English Composition I* or ENG 165 Professional Communications.
- Applicants must have completed or be eligible for MAT 110 College Algebra* or MAT 120 Probability and Statistics* .
- Applicants may apply for prior learning (PLA) credit for individual courses, according to GTC policy. PLA or transfer credit will not be awarded for MFG 481 Industry Capstone Project I or MFG 482 Industry Capstone Project II.
- Applicants must complete the online college orientation and then attend a planning and advising session.
- Applicants must complete and submit the program application form.
Students will be accepted in the order in which all the above are completed.
