First and foremost, as the Chair of the
Industrial Technology Department, I would like to welcome you to our Industrial
Technology Department's Home Page at Texas A&M
University-Kingsville. I know it can be difficult deciding on what to
major in and where to go to college. A college degree is quite an
investment in time and resources, and you want to make sure you have selected
the right college for your future career path. The Industrial Technology
program at Texas A&M University-Kingsville is unique and would probably be
considered one of the best Industrial Technology programs for the following
reasons:
Only 124 total semester hours are required to
earn a bachelors degree in Industrial Technology (see our degree
plan), which is one of the lowest in the
country. This means that you can finish an Industrial
Technology degree in four years taking the normal load of 5 classes for most
semesters. Many of our majors finish in 3 1/2 years or less by
enrolling in the summers.

Our program allows you to earn
certifications in six different areas depending upon your interests and
career goals.
Presently, all of our graduates are employed
in careers related to Industrial Technology within three months of
graduation (see job placement). In addition, the department works with job placement
agencies, headhunters, and human resource managers of most industries.
We
also maintain Internet job postings.
-
All courses are offered at day and night so
you don't have to quit your job to get a degree. We even offer courses
at night during the summer so you can spend time with your friends on the
beach or continue working full time.
-
The starting salaries of the department's
graduates range from $30,000 to over $50,000 a year (see careers
in IT).
-
All Industrial Technology students minor in
Business Administration. Many prospective employers have commented
that this is a tremendous asset to individuals seeking employment in
industrial management-related positions.
Our degree only requires two math courses.
Class size is restricted to
approximately 20 students, and
faculty are required to keep a minimum of 10 office hours to assist students
with any problems.
The tuition at Texas A&M
University-Kingsville is one of the lowest in the country, and the University offers the most
financial aid of any college in this region. Departmental scholarships
of up to $1,000 are also available.
In addition to all these reasons, I personally
make sure that all Industrial Technology courses are offered frequently enough
so every Industrial Technology major can graduate on time. All of our course offerings are
printed two years in advance, so you know exactly what Industrial Technology courses will be offered
in the upcoming semesters (see tentative course
offerings).
We understand you are a paying customer and that you should be treated with the utmost respect. Our faculty and staff will do
everything in their power to make your college experience as pleasurable as
possible. If you still aren't sure where to go to school, give me a call,
e-mail me, or stop by and I will be more than happy to give you a tour of our
building and entertain any questions you may have.
