The University of Toledo

Engineering Technology Off-Campus Degree Completion

Overview

The University of Toledo's College of Engineering (COE), Engineering Technology (ET) Department has partnered with a number of Ohio's two-year colleges (listed at left) to make the Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Engineering Technology (CSET) available to their students without requiring students to come to Toledo. This partnership is known as the Off-campus Degree Completion (ODC) Program.

During the first two years students in the ODC Program will work toward a carefully-articulated Associate of Applied Science degree in Electrical Engineering Technology (or a closely related program) at the partner institution.

During the last two years students will work to complete the Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering Technology from UT, with coursework that focuses on computer networking and web-based programming.

All work will be done on the campus of the partner institution or online as web-based distance learning courses. Courses for the last two years will be offered in the following formats:

• one-third from the two-year college's catalog (e.g., humanities, social science, mathematics)
• two-thirds as web-based distance learning courses (lecture only technical courses)

In rare circumstances, courses may be offered in an on-campus manner at the community college, using qualified community college faculty as adjunct faculty.

As illustrated in the diagram below, Degree Completion students will realize a significant savings in tuition for the bachelor's degree.

Of the 128 semester hours required for a bachelor's degree from the College of Engineering, approximately 88 can be taken at the community college tuition rate. The 40 semester hours of web-based distance learning courses taken from UT satisfy the minimum number of resident hours required by the University.

The program may be completed on a part-time basis.
