You can enroll in the Civil Engineering Technology on either a full-time or part-time basis. The length of time required to complete an Associate Degree depends on the number of courses you take each semester. Some students may need refresher courses at the basic or pre-tech level; others may receive transfer credit or credit for work experience. Delaware Tech operates on a semester system with new terms beginning in late August and mid-January, plus summer terms beginning at the end of May and in mid-June. You can start taking courses any semester or summer term; however, all technical courses may not be offered every term. A diploma program is also available in this technology. |
