| Students may earn an Associate in Applied Arts and Sciences (AAAS) Degree in Civil Technology. The Civil Engineering Technology program also offers two degrees accredited by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) which include the Associate in Science Degree - Option II (Engineering Transfer - TAC/ABET) and Associate in Applied Arts and Sciences Degree in Civil Engineering Technology - TAC/ABET. One-year certificate options include Surveying and Engineering Graphics. These degree options allow students the freedom to pursue careers after either one or two years of training, or to continue their education. |
| Students may begin their study in these programs in fall, winter or spring quarters. A placement test offered by the Student Development Center must be completed prior to admittance to the program. |
| Walla Walla Community College's AAAS Degree in Civil Engineering Technology and AS-Option II (Engineering Transfer) are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). WWCC is the only community college in the Northwest region to earn ABET accreditation for Civil Engineering Technology. |
