Curriculum Highlights
Students study fundamental electrical principles, the National Electrical Code and wiring applications for construction and manufacturing environments. The broader program begins with basic technical instruction before students move into their chosen specialty. It describes approximately half of students' time as laboratory work using industry equipment. The Electrical Technician pathway focuses on installing, maintaining and repairing electrical systems in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Testing equipment, troubleshooting problems and applying electrical code requirements are central occupational skills. SCC also offers separate automation and industrial maintenance specializations; applicants should choose the Electrical Technician award when that is their intended training route.
Admission Requirements
The program states that prior technical knowledge is not required. Begin with SCC's Application for Admission for a program of study. That application is the route for students planning to graduate with a degree or certificate; the visiting-student application serves people taking individual classes. Electrical & Electromechanical programs have limited seats for each intake, and a limited waitlist may be used. Read the program page's current intake notice before applying, apply early for the desired intake, and check email for enrollment and registration instructions. Program chair Jordan Liekhus can be reached at 402-761-8300 or [email protected].

For 2026–2027, SCC publishes tuition of $105 per credit for in-state students and $126 for out-of-state students, plus $22 per credit in fees. These rates do not constitute a complete program price.

Use the tuition page to review the billing basis and consult the college about aid eligibility. Students intending to apply for federal financial aid must use the program-of-study admission application.
Career Outcomes
The Electrical Technician track prepares students for work with contractors, engineers and clients on building electrical systems. The school describes installation, maintenance, repair, testing and safe code-compliant work as career activities. Compare the shorter certificate with the broader AAS when discussing employment goals and further training with the department. The listed credentials are college awards; any separate licensing or experience-credit determination should be checked with the responsible authority.
