Dunwoody Electrical Construction & Maintenance

Dunwoody’s Electrical Construction & Maintenance program helps you find your passion—and your field—within the electrical industry.

Throughout your training, you will explore career paths in residential, commercial, industrial, and manufacturing electrical systems, including renewable energy and power limited technologies.

Design basic wiring schematics, learn how to read blueprints, train on solar and wind technologies, and experience field trips and guest speakers from leading companies and organizations.

Instruction comes from experienced, industry-expert faculty, who are dedicated to helping you launch into a great career. And study of the National Electrical Code (NEC)—set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)—will provide you with skills and knowledge necessary to install electrical systems that are safe, reliable, and code compliant.

An OSHA 10 Construction Card is offered to students who successfully complete the required 10 hours of training.

This card is widely accepted by most electrical contractors in the US.

The Electrical Construction & Maintenance major is approved by the MN Department of Labor & Industry as a two-year electrical program.

Satisfactory completion of an approved two-year electrical program fulfills the one year’s experience credit allowance for a Class A journeyman electrician, power limited technician, or maintenance electrician license applicant according to part 3800.3520, subpart 5, items B, E, and I, and Minnesota Statutes, section 326B.33, subdivisions 2, paragraph (b), and 7, paragraph (b).

This degree directly transfers into Dunwoody’s Bachelor of Science in Construction Management.
