Automotive Technology

So, what do you see when you step into the BFIT automotive garage? Depends on the day!

Because our programs are not manufacturer-specific, you will be working on a vast variety of makes and models - including hybrid and electric automobiles. Therefore, you reap the benefits of an exciting, dynamic workload and gain the skills and knowledge that will make you a valuable asset to any employer.

Students will split their time between classroom instructions and hands-on, real world laboratories. You will take apart (and piece together) automatic and manual transmissions, work on brakes and chassis, examine engines, and learn the ins and outs of automotive electrical systems. You will also be on the cutting edge of the latest technologies, including alternative fuels.

We offer three options for students interested in Automotive Technology:
  • a 15-month certificate program
  • a two-year Associate's degree
  • a Bachelor's Degree program

We're sure that one of these programs will suit your needs. Please click on the links below to access our course catalog for more information about the specific programs.
