Program Overview
SUNY Delhi’s Electrical Construction and Instrumentation Associate in Occupational Studies is a two-year campus program for people seeking hands-on electrical training. The AOS is distinct from the school’s related AAS: SUNY Delhi says the AOS includes extra laboratory instruction intended to prepare students to enter the workforce as technicians. This listing covers the on-campus AOS at Delhi; the catalog also offers an online route to the AOS for IBEW electricians who have completed the five-year inside wireman apprenticeship. Training addresses electrical systems used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The program page describes learning to install, maintain, and repair systems, and it emphasizes work in laboratories with residential and commercial wiring setups.
Curriculum Highlights
The 2026-2027 catalog lists a four-semester sequence of at least 63 credits: electrical theory, system design, codes and standards and four electrical laboratories, then control system design and programmable logic controllers, with college algebra and general education. Students work with electrical power, communications, lighting, and control systems. SUNY Delhi also describes electives in energy-efficient construction, programmable logic controllers, and low-voltage alarms. The program page calls the OSHA 30-hour construction course required, but the catalog lists it as OSHA 30 or an unrestricted elective; confirm with the department.
Admission Requirements
Apply through the SUNY Online Application or Common Application. SUNY Delhi lists a $50 non-refundable application fee and links to fee-waiver information. For first-year applicants, decisions consider official high-school transcripts or equivalency scores; transfer applicants submit official college transcripts. Applicants must also meet any prerequisites established for the program and should confirm the AOS’s current requirements with admissions. SUNY Delhi uses rolling admission, accepting applications until a program reaches its acceptance or enrollment limit, and began its 2026-27 application review on October 1, 2026; applying does not guarantee a seat. Start with the official application page and contact the Office of Admissions with program-specific questions.
Cost & Financial Aid
For 2026–27, SUNY Delhi lists full-time (12 or more credits) on-campus undergraduate tuition of $3,535 per semester for New York residents and $7,500 for out-of-state students, plus a $921 comprehensive fee per semester. The page says rates can change and that the orientation fee is separate. SUNY Delhi links to financial-aid and scholarship information; eligibility and award amounts depend on the student and the funding program.
Career Outcomes
SUNY Delhi presents the AOS as preparation to enter the workforce as a technician. Its program page identifies work involving electrical power, communications, lighting, and control systems and lists examples such as electrician, electrical mechanic, facilities maintenance technician, instrumentation technician, and generator-installation specialist.
