Placement Rate
EAAS Full-time 2011-12 cohort: N/A
EAAS Part-time 2011-12 cohort: 100%
N/A indicates that there were no students in the cohort.
Missouri Tech’s completion and placement rates are calculated in accordance with the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) Standards of Accreditation.
On-time Graduation Rate
The on-time graduation rate is defined as the total number of students who completed the Associate of Applied Science in Electronics Engineering program in the published minimum time frame of 16 months. Most Missouri Tech students are non-traditional and work while attending college. As such, many of our students are part-time and thus unable to complete within 16 months.
The on-time graduation rate for the EAAS program: 100%
Total Cost
The total cost of the Associate of Applied Science in Electronics Engineering program is $44,505. This cost is comprised of the following:
