In order to meet the challenges of today and to plan for the technological future, the programs offered through Industrial Technology have been designed to assist students in the enhancement of their education to better prepare them for the demands of the workplace.
Students from select area secondary and post-secondary schools may qualify for transfer of technical coursework under existing articulation agreements with Kentucky State University. In the Industrial Technology area, students enrolled in one of its associate degree programs may get credit for previous work in either Computer Graphics and Multimedia Production Technology or in Computer Electronics Technology programs. These credit transfer agreements enable students to pursue a University degree without transitional delay or duplication of previous coursework. Credit may be awarded after a thorough review of a student’s transcript and consultation with a University faculty advisor. A competency-based examination may also be given by the advisor to assist in the transfer evaluation process. More information may be obtained from the Division of Computer and Technical Sciences office.
