Six automotive-related programs at Pennsylvania College of Technology have received reaccreditation from the ASE Education Foundation.
The programs, which include associate degrees in automotive technology, automotive technology: Honda PACT, collision repair technology and diesel technology, as well as certificates in collision repair technician and automotive service technician, underwent a rigorous evaluation to earn the foundation’s highest level of accreditation.
The ASE Education Foundation is a nonprofit organization that evaluates entry-level automotive technology programs to ensure they meet quality standards developed by industry professionals.
“We are thrilled to receive reaccreditation for our programs, which affirms our commitment to academic excellence and continuous improvement,” said Joanna Flynn, vice president for academic affairs and provost at Penn College. “This recognition reflects the dedication of our faculty, staff, and students in maintaining the highest standards.”
A total of 169 students are currently enrolled in the six reaccredited programs, which are part of Penn College’s School of Engineering Technologies.
“Accreditation is a vital process to determine if academic programs are meeting the highest of quality standards established by industry professionals,” said Bradley Webb, dean of engineering technologies. “Having our programs reaccredited results from the outstanding curriculum, instruction and facilities we offer at Penn College. We are very proud to receive this mark of excellence. It is well-deserved.”
The reaccreditation is part of the institution’s ongoing investment in providing students with industry-relevant training that prepares them for success in automotive service careers.
