Many of our graduates go on to further education.  A number of our programs offer the opportunity for students to earn college credit and therefore are designed to prepare students to succeed in college-level training. Southwest Tech also has articulation agreements with several colleges (agreements to accept and or give credit to students who complete training programs).
