Programs Offered
Beginning their junior year of high school, students in the MIC program take specific college level classes from UCM and Metropolitan Community College alongside their high school classes. This means upon graduation from high school, students will not only have their diplomas, but an associate's degree as well in two of the seven programs.
Best of all, after high school graduation, MIC students are on an accelerated pathway to complete a bachelor's degree from UCM in only two years, allowing them to enter the workforce and start their career sooner.
MIC Programs
Bachelor of Science in Engineering Design Technology
UCM's Engineering Design Technology program is the only four-year program of its kind in the state and one of only a few in the country. Our accredited program provides graduates with the skills employers demand for computer aided drafting and design, related technical skills, and the management components of the CADD fields. Our graduates are highly recruited for their strong, hands-on skills gained throughout their degree.
