Career Opportunities
What do I need to know before applying?
Admission to the BAS-ROBAI program is by application only. Students will have first completed an Associates in Applied Science - Transfer (AAS-T) degree in Mechatronics, Robotics and Automation Technology, or hold a similar degree.
The following prerequisite courses with grades of 2.5 or higher are required for our program:
- Completed an Associate of Applied Science - Transfer (AAS-T) in Robotics and Automation Technology, Mechatronics, or an equivalent degree.
- Completion of Math& 141 or higher.
- Completion of ENGL& 101 and ENGL& 235 or ENGR 231
Students must also have a minimum cumulative 2.5 GPA and minimum grade point of 2.5 in all prerequisite courses.
The program follows a cohort model that admits 30 students each fall. Each cohort will follow a specific sequence of BAS-ROBAI classes each quarter throughout the program. The program lasts two years (or six quarters).
At this time, cohorts start once a year in the fall quarter. Application periods run from the winter through summer quarters.
Students are encouraged to consult the STEM BAS Program Manager for eligibility evaluation and further discuss whether additional courses are needed before applying.
