Engineering

Engineering is the art of applying mathematics and science to solve problems. To be a practicing engineer you need to earn a bachelor’s degree in the field of engineering. At Clovis Community College you can fulfill the first two years of this goal before transferring to a four-year university to complete your education. Clovis Community College has a strong legacy of successfully transferring students into engineering programs all across the state and nation.
