Program Overview
New England Institute of Technology lists an Associate of Science (AS) in Electrical Technology. The program page says that for a typical six-term curriculum, a student may complete the requirements in as little as 18 months. It says the program is offered on the Post Road campus in Rhode Island.
The catalog calls the award an Associate in Science Degree. It says the program trains students for entry-level careers in the electrical industry. It says new graduates are qualified to work as an apprentice electrician or technician.
The catalog places the Julian B. Gouse Campus at 2500 Post Road, Warwick. It also lists One New England Tech Boulevard, East Greenwich, RI 02818. The catalog says NEIT is a private, non-profit, technical university.
The program page says NEIT is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education. It says some academic departments have specialized professional accreditations. These pages do not name a separate accreditor for this electrical program.
Curriculum Highlights
The catalog plan of study lists six terms. The printed total is 102-107 quarter credit hours.
The program page names courses including NEC and Residential Wiring Lab and Motor Controls and Lab, and says laboratory work simulates job conditions in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. Electrical Technology with Renewable Energy is a separate award with its own tuition row.
Admission Requirements
Undergraduate admissions says current high school students submit an application through NEIT's portal or the Common Application, plus official high school transcripts. Letters of recommendation and an essay are encouraged and are not required. The printed nursing and health-science tests are for those applicants.
The application portal is apply.neit.edu. The admissions phone on that page is 401-739-5000.
Cost & Financial Aid
The 2026-2027 tuition-by-degree page lists Electrical Technology annual tuition at $18,540. It says tuition and fee charges are subject to an increase. It does not print a six-term total.
NEIT defines a full-time course load as 12-19 credits per term. Tuition for students within this range is charged at the full-time rate. It says an academic year is three terms over about 9 months.
The degree-type page lists a $100 non-refundable administrative charge each term ($300 per academic year), a $300 non-refundable student fee each term ($900 per academic year), and a $600 laboratory fee per term for full-time students ($1,800 per academic year).
Career Outcomes
The catalog says graduates are qualified to seek entry-level employment. It says students entering a state-run electrical apprenticeship may meet some requirements for state electrical journey electrician licensing exams, contingent on applicable law, and that those requirements vary from state to state. It does not say this degree is a Rhode Island journeyman license.
Graduates can continue in named NEIT bachelor's programs.
