This Associate of Applied Science degree prepares individuals to work in the electrical
power transmission and distribution industry. People choosing this career, one of
the most demanding, will be required to work out of doors in all kinds of weather
and conditions.
Why power transmission and distribution?
Coursework in electrical principles, safety, pole climbing, driver safety, high voltage
transmission and distribution, and field work qualify the graduate to work in the
numerous public and private power utilities around Oklahoma and the United States.
Program graduates can expect to find employment in many segments of the power industry,
normally start out in an apprenticeship program, and can expect to work up to a journeyman
lineman position. Employment data indicates this will be a field with high demand
for new employees.
