The advent of computer-controlled machines in industry provides the City College at MSU Billings Diesel program with the challenge and opportunity to instruct students in the latest technologies available. Cooperation from industry has given this training program the advantage of having new and/or used equipment to study, adjust settings, scan readings and repair.
The program is certified in both ASE and NATEF. Current diesel employers include major truck, tractor, and auto dealerships; specialty shops; and independent garages. Diesel Technology graduates are in demand by heavy-duty construction, mining, logging, and agricultural businesses. See our website at www.msubillings.edu/careers for graduate data. Articulation agreements with MSU-Northern, MSU Billings, and the Billings Career Center provide additional education for qualifying students.
Associate of Applied Science degrees are awarded to students who successfully pass the required courses.
