Telecommunications Technology - Verizon: A.A.S.

Associate in Applied Science

This program, called NEXT STEP, has been designed in cooperation with the Verizon Communications, the Communications Workers of America, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. It is offered at a number of community colleges and technical colleges throughout New York State and New England and gives qualified Verizon employees an opportunity to earn an A.A.S. Degree. Those Verizon employees who qualify will be given one day off from work per week with pay to attend classes.

Students will complete 60 credit hours of work over a 4-year period to complete the work. Courses for the NEXT STEP Program are listed below and will address three areas of skills and knowledge: general education, electronics, and telecommunications.  Laptop computers are provided to all students and they are an integral part of the program.
