PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
Choose this technical AAS rather than assuming the Automotive Management award has the same requirements.
Your complete timeline
The Electronics and Diagnostics AAS emphasizes electrical, electronic and control systems, including electric and hybrid vehicle service. Ask for a term-by-term plan that includes prerequisites, transfer decisions and application timing.
Plan around the schedule
The department teaches at Bend and Redmond and through other partnerships; confirm where this exact award’s required labs meet.
Application and selection
Choose this technical AAS rather than assuming the Automotive Management award has the same requirements. Check the current first-year or transfer admission requirements and whether the major or practical placement has a separate application.
Details checked September 15, 2026. Confirm current requirements with the provider.
Questions to take to an advisor
Which campus and lab sequence apply to this AAS, and what diagnostic equipment will I use?
- What is included in the written price, and what would I pay separately?
- What support is available if my work schedule, disability accommodations or family responsibilities affect attendance?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
A degree does not automatically confer every industry certification. Employers and certification bodies may require separate assessments and work experience.
Cost and outcomes
Published base; complete personal budget still needed
Add program-specific fees, books, tools or supplies, exams, prerequisite study, travel and living expenses to the published base below. Your final cost depends on your course plan and financial aid.
Published tuition or budget base
2026-27 tuition is $130 per credit for in-district residents and $185 for out-of-district Oregon residents and qualifying border-state residents. Course, lab and other fees are additional; Oregon residency alone does not establish the in-district rate.
