Automotive Technology (AUAAS)
Award: Associate in applied science degree
Program location: South Omaha Campus
The Automotive Technology program is a NATEF MASTER certified program. This is the highest achievement an institution can receive. All MCC instructors are Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Master Technicians in the fields they teach. MCC is the only college to offer both day and evening classes to meet the needs of those with busy schedules. See the class schedule for class and entry point offering times.
MCC offers an “express lane” certificate for students who successfully complete the first quarter classes so they can show prospective employers their achievements and begin their path to a successful career. This opportunity allows students to earn a living while they attend hybrid classes. Hybrid classes allow students to take tests and prepare for class at their convenience online, and then come to the campus to get hands-on training and mini lectures. This allows students to use their time wisely and not have to sit through long lectures. Class time uses a team-based learning format. Classes are very interactive and provide a high level of engagement.
Other nationally recognized certificates earned along the way include:
- Safety and Pollution Prevention, SP/2 training
- ASE Student Certification
- National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3) certification for the Snap-On Verus Pro, Vantage Pro, Multimeter systems
