What will students learn if they study Process Technology?
They learn how to monitor and control mechanical, physical and /or chemical changes throughout many processes to produce a final product made from raw materials. Process technicians are responsible for start up, maintenance, troubleshooting, and shutdown of process equipment. Upon successful completion of this program, students will know how to analyze, evaluate, and communicate process-related data, understand various processes, troubleshoot process equipment and instruments, and maintain a safe and healthy work environment.
Are there any requirements that must be satisfied before taking courses in the major?
Algebra I is a prerequisite for all majors. Algebra I competency may be verified with a passing score on the College’s placement test or completion of the appropriate course.
How long will it take to complete this degree?
Once students complete developmental coursework (if needed), the degree can be completed in two years of full-time study. They can shorten the amount of time by taking courses in the summer and winter sessions.
Our students transfer to 4-year colleges and universities around the globe. We’ve had students transfer to every state, including Alaska and Hawaii.
The Statewide Transfer Agreement for New Jersey ensures that students who earn an A.A. or A.S. degree at a community college will have those credits fully transferable to a New Jersey public four-year institution, will have completed half of the credits required for a basic four-year degree and will have completed all lower division general education requirements. In addition, articulation agreements are being worked out with institutions granting baccalaureate degrees to facilitate the transfer process. Students should discuss the transfer process with an advisor.
