College of Technology Pathway Program

The Engineering Science associate degree program prepares students for transfer to baccalaureate college and university programs in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering and biomedical engineering. The program also offers students currently employed in technical positions in high technology industries the opportunity to retrain and upgrade their technical skills.

The Engineering Science program, through the Connecticut College of Technology Pathways program, provides for direct entry into baccalaureate engineering programs at the University of Connecticut, Central Connecticut State University, the University of Hartford, the University of New Haven or Fairfield University. Upon successful completion of the program, students earn junior status in a baccalaureate engineering program. Note: Individual universities have different grade requirements. Consultation with a faculty advisor is strongly recommended
