Hands-On Learning: Applied Technologies offers
education in Construction Trades, Carpentry, Electrical Work, Plumbing,
Welding, and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning). These courses
are ideal for students who think they might be interested in a skilled
trade, those interested in the growing field of facilities maintenance, or
who wish to develop skills for their own personal enrichment.
The department offers two kinds of courses: Open enrollment
courses and partnership courses. Open enrollment courses are available to
anyone enrolled at Columbus State. Partnership courses are limited to
students in a recognized apprenticeship program with one of our employer
partners.
Apprenticeships/Partnerships: The department
collaborates with local industry partners to custom build certificate and/or
degree programs that will best meet their educational and training needs.
These programs can include employer-specific courses as well as integration
of their employees into mainstream college coursework.
The goal of this initiative is to meet all of the
educational and training needs of employers at all levels within their
organization. These partnerships actively involve local employers in the
educational process, including recruiting, selection, curriculum
development, related work experience, and final placement.
Associate Degree Partnership Programs
Applied Technologies degree programs are
part of partnerships between area skilled trades apprenticeship programs
and the college. Participation in these programs is limited to students
who are currently enrolled in the full-time apprenticeship programs
offered by the college’s industry partner trades organizations.
Students in the Applied Technologies degree
programs combine apprenticeship courses, advanced technical coursework,
and basic and general education courses to earn an Associate of Applied
Science in Applied Technologies. Electrician, carpentry, millwright and
operating engineer majors are currently available.

Associate of Technical Studies in
Construction Trades
In partnership with several central Ohio skilled trades apprenticeship
programs, the college offers apprentices the opportunity to earn college
credit in their apprenticeship programs. Students are awarded college
credit for technical courses taken during each year of the
apprenticeship, leading to a certificate in the program upon successful
completion of their apprenticeship. Students who wish to continue their
education can apply the credits they have earned toward an Associate of
Technical Studies in Construction Trades with a technical minor in their
trade. All Applied Technology partnership programs have restricted
enrollment, requiring that participants are accepted into their
respective trade apprenticeship programs.
