Students in this program will have knowledge in the installation, operation, maintenance and repair of computers and networks. CMT students must complete 18 computer courses for an associate of applied science degree in 18 to 24 months. An abbreviated 12 month certificate of completion is also available for persons already in computer related fields. By the time CMT students graduate, their skills in computer maintenance and networking are highly marketable. Most CMT graduates work in computer maintenance and networking fields throughout Texas.
Many graduates become supervisors in a relatively short time.
Preparation for this program starting at the high school level should include physical science-chemistry or physics, algebra, calculus or trigonometry, and electronics or computer courses. A good candidate for the Computer Maintenance Technology program will be the student who is eager to learn more about computers and networking.
