Associate Degree
To earn an Associate in Science degree with a major in
Electronics and Computer Technology, complete a
minimum of 18 units from any of the certificate
requirements above or from any Electronics and
Computer Technology courses and meet all Victor
Valley College graduation requirements. The Associate
Degree Electronic Engineering Technology Certificate
includes all general education requirements for an
Associate in Science degree with a major in Electronic
Engineering Technology. ELCT 138 (Cooperative
Education) may be used as Elective credit, but may not
be used to fulfill major requirements.
Transfer
Most Electronics and Computer Technology courses
transfer as Electives or fulfill subject credit
requirements. Students in this field sometimes choose
to pursue a bachelor’s degree in technology fields such
as Industrial Technology at California State Polytechnic
University, San Luis Obispo, or Engineering Technology
at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.
Other students choose to pursue an Engineering degree
which requires a more intense curriculum in
mathematics, chemistry, and physics. See Engineering
for transfer requirements.
Campuses that offer Electronics and Computer
Technology majors include: CSU - Chico, Fullerton,
Long Beach, Pomona and Sacramento. Visit
