Two-Year Associate of Applied Science Degree
Course of Study
The Automotive Technology AAS degree program provides students with the skills they need by clearly identifying the learner outcomes that are developed through Oregon skill sets and national certification requirements. Students will receive preparation for certification in eight areas of Automotive Service Excellence. These areas are brakes, electronic systems, engine performance, suspension and steering, automatic and manual transmission and transaxle, engine repair, and heating and air conditioning. Class instruction will incorporate employability skills, such as proper professional attire, customer and team relations, and safe work practices. The instruction will place students in a learning community that will provide them the experiences to achieve academic, technical, and career-related skills.
Admission Requirements
The Automotive Technology AAS degree program has special admission requirements and enrollment limits. The first step to entering this program is to take the college’s free placement test and meet with KCC Student Services staff. Placement tests can be scheduled by calling the KCC Testing Center at 541-880-2334. There are entry-level expectations for skill levels in reading, writing, and mathematics. If students have questions about the requirements, they may call Mark Pedersen at 541-882-2284. Failure to complete the placement test will delay entry into the Automotive Technology Program.
For admission into the program, an application is required. This is a separate step from the testing and assessment steps. Automotive Technology Program application packets are available behind the front desk in Building 3.
