The Associate in Applied Science Degree in Electronics Technology is designed primarily for people who seek full-time employment in the area of electronics immediately upon completion of the community college program. People who are first seeking employment in the area of electronics or who seek a promotion may benefit from this program. Specifically, the objectives of the program are to prepare graduates for careers as electronics technicians, industrial electronics technicians, instrumentation technicians, consumer product repair technicians, communications technicians, computer network technicians, and technical salespeople. Generally, the A.A.S. in Electronics Technology is the minimum requirement for many employment opportunities in the field of electronics.

Many BRCC Electronics Technology Program graduates continue on to Old Dominion University (ODU) for their junior- and senior-level courses in pursuit of a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering Technology or Computer Engineering Technology. The ODU courses can be taken on campus at BRCC via Satellite (ODU TELETECHNET).

The Electronics Technology Program is structured so that students need no previous electrical or electronics knowledge.

* Full-time students may complete the degree in two years; part-time students determine their own pace.
