While most students will begin their careers in electronics immediately upon graduation from TBCC, you could instead choose to transfer to a college such as Oregon Institute of Technology and obtain a bachelor's degree. Many companies also offer educational benefits, such as payment of tuition reimbursement to pursue a bachelor's degree while you work. Most people will go to classes full time during the day. It is a rigorous program, so working part-time should be limited to no more than 20 hours a week. TBCC tries to see that students who need financial aid get assistance.
Aid is available in the form of scholarships, grants, loans and work-study jobs.
We will also work with students to organize a program of part-time work to fit around their school schedule. To enter the two-year program in Fall 2001, students new to community college studies must take TBCC's placement examinations for mathematics and English prior to advising and registration. Students must place into WR121 English Composition and Reading 116 or higher levels and into MTH 95 or higher. Applicants must have completed MTH 95 by September 2001. A course will be available in MTH 95 during summer term.
