Associate in Technical Arts (ATA)

The ATA-Electronics is directly transferable to the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology (BSEET) programs in Washington State, including Central Washington University, Eastern Washington University and Old Dominion. Students should work closely with an advisor at the baccalaureate institution they plan to transfer to before finalizing their education plan.

The Electronics Program at Olympic College provides for two years of instruction designed to prepare a student for entry in the field or industry. Studies include industrial control circuits using linear integrated circuits and other solid-state devices, digital circuits, microcomputer operation and languages, microprocessors, as well as studies in general industrial electronics. Upon completion of the Associate in Technical Arts Degree (ATA), a student may transfer these credits and apply them towards a Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Technology at some four-year institutions. The ATA program is accepted at Evergreen State University in its upside down transfer option.
