Department Overview

The Automotive and Collision Technology department at Collin College prepares students for careers in today’s automotive and collision industry. Completers in both programs have the opportunity to work in major dealerships, independent shops, and franchise businesses. Our curriculum is built around industry standards with the opportunity for students to work towards multiple Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certifications and I-CAR Certifications for Collision Technology. Collin College offers multiple program options of both degrees and certificates taught by experienced industry professionals.
