Occupational Endorsements

Occupational endorsements are designed to give students occupational training in a specific field. These endorsements are under 30 credit hours and will be posted to student transcripts upon completion as approved by the academic department. The credit hours may be applied (where applicable) to degree programs.

The Environmental Technology program offers O.E. options in either Water Operations or Wastewater Operations. Both are designed for the entry-level operator and will provide the required knowledge for State of Alaska Level 1 operator certification. Students who complete these endorsements will be well qualified for operator positions. These endorsements articulate with the ENVT Certificate and the A.A.S. in Environmental Technology. All classes are offered via distance education, originating from the Sitka campus.
