Academic Program Model

CET/Advanced Technical Studies (AAS.CETAT)

This option of the Civil Engineering Technology program allows a graduate to continue his or her education at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale or Eastern Illinois University. Graduates from this program of study are able to complete a bachelor of science degree in Technical Resource Management at SIUC with only an additional 60 semester hours of course work.

Program requirements may change over time. Specific degree/graduation requirements are determined by a degree audit.
