Selland College Offers Variety of Electronic Career Options

The Selland College of Applied Technology at Boise State University is introducing several choices for students interested in pursuing electronics careers. This fall, students can complete one year of electronic core classes and then specialize in a technical career area such as manufacturing (robotics) systems technology, broadcast technology, semiconductor manufacturing technology or general electronics.

Students can complete a program in as little as 24 months, said Mike Lyons, manager for manufacturing and engineering technology in the Selland College.

“These options give students a chance to learn the basics of electronics the first year and gain an overview of all of the careers before specializing in a certain area of expertise,” Lyons said. “Our goal is to be responsive, flexible and market-driven.”

The Selland College offers more than 40 professional-technical career certificate and degree training programs at campus locations in Boise and Nampa. Programs are currently accepting applications, and financial aid is available. Prospective students are encouraged to call the Selland College Student Services Office at 426-1431 for more information or to meet with a career adviser. Program enrollment is limited.
