Utility Line Technician Curriculum Plans

Curriculum Plans

Below is a suggested guide for the traditional and weekend options and a suggested guide for recent high school graduates. General education requirements can be completed before, during, or after the UTIL coursework is completed; however, completing the general education requirements before the UTIL classes improves students' chances of being accepted into the program. Students should contact Student Services to design a plan of study.
