Welding at Collin
Welding is a craft that is highly valued in both industrial manufacturing and aerospace. Welders who graduate from Collin College's program will be prepared to earn a job or go into business for themselves, providing a service that is always in high demand.
Collin College offers an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Welding, one level 1 certificate, and one level 2 certificate. The AAS will allow you to earn a degree in welding, while the certificates are designed to prove your ability in specific processes such as GTAW Welding, SMAW Welding, Welding Fabrication, and Welding Technology.
If your program requires a criminal background check, your placement in a required clinical site, cooperative, practicum, internship, and/or licensure/certification opportunity may be impacted. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your program director and check with your licensing/certifying entity, if any, to determine your status.
The department offers training in robotic welding, sub-arc welding, aerospace welding, advanced fabrication, and tungsten inert gas (TIG), metal inert gas (MIG), flux core, and stick welding processes.
Students planning to transfer to a college or university should check with the Collin College academic advisors. Also check the degree requirement of the intended transfer college prior to beginning this program to verify course degree applicability.
