All future Adamson P-TECH cohorts have an opportunity to earn an Associate of Arts degree. The two degree pathway options are briefly summarized below:

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT (formerly Internet Development Technologies) ... This pathway is for the very organized, critical thinkers who can logically decipher information. People who like to read and work with small details are perfect for this degree.

NETWORKING ... (This pathway is more like PC Support and hardware)... it is more hands-on and looks at the big picture... Like how to configure routers in a building or a classroom or how to work on a computer, taking it apart and putting it back together.
