The Mechatronics program offers one degree at this time: the Associate in Applied Science (AAS). An Associate in Applied Science degree is known as a “job ready” degree. The majority of classes you will take will be major specific classes and you will only have six general education classes to complete. The AAS degree requires a total of 69 credits. This is approximately 23 classes depending on the level of math and english you begin at. This type of degree will give you the experience needed to get a job and start a career. Please visit the course requirements area to see a list of all required classes.

How the Program Works
The Mechatronics program works in a cohort system where 30 new students begin every fall semester (August). We recommend registering early to get your spot. Registration for fall semester begins in April. You will need to contact the Mechatronics Academic Advisor to find out which classes to register for. The program takes approximately 2 ½ years to complete or a total of 5 semesters. We only offer Mechatronics classes in the fall (August-December) and spring (January-April) semesters. 

To begin the program you must meet the following standards:

You must be at a MATH 1050 College Algebra level of math. To know what level of math you are at we will look at either your ACT/SAT scores if you are 23 and under or we will look at your Accuplacer scores if you are 24 and older. If you have not taken the ACT/SAT or the Accuplacer then please visit the following link for more information.

University Catalog

Students must obtain an overall grade point average of 2.0 (C) or above, with no core course (CS, EENG, MECH, and MATH 1060) below a C- in order to graduate. 

At this time the Mechatronics Technology program at UVU only offers an Associate in Applied Science degree. If you are interested in furthering your education either at UVU or another school we recommend the following programs:

• Business Management with an emphasis in Entrepreneurship
• Engineering
• Mechatronics
• Technology Management
