Program Overview
Dunwoody College of Technology offers a 72-credit Associate of Applied Science in Electrical Construction & Maintenance. The program is organized across two years and four semesters with daytime, on-campus attendance. Training takes place at Dunwoody's Minneapolis campus, 818 Dunwoody Boulevard. This listing concerns the ELEC AAS construction and maintenance route.
The campus format includes practical work as well as classroom instruction. Prospective students should discuss the actual daily timetable and transportation with Admissions before enrolling. The two-year plan assumes progression through the scheduled sequence; transfer credit or part-time study needs individual advising rather than an assumed completion date.
Curriculum Highlights
Students develop electrical installation and troubleshooting skills through residential and commercial wiring exercises. Coursework connects electrical principles, code requirements and safe work practices with laboratory tasks. The program's practical facilities include house-wiring work, helping students relate plans and electrical theory to construction situations.
The curriculum also introduces motor and control applications and renewable-energy topics. Review the catalog's course plan to understand the balance between construction wiring and maintenance work. This degree should not be confused with electrical engineering or with a management degree; its core purpose is practical preparation for electrical construction and maintenance occupations.
Admission Requirements
First-time college applicants submit an application and high school transcripts or a GED certificate. Dunwoody recommends a personal interview with an admissions counselor to discuss whether the college and program fit the applicant's goals. ACT and SAT scores are optional under the published first-year instructions.
Contact Admissions at 612-374-5800 or [email protected] to discuss prior education, the daytime sequence and any required next steps. Students transferring from another college should use the appropriate transfer process. Admission to the college should not be treated as confirmation that every preferred course section is available.
