STEM Division's Commitment to Your Success

Our wide range of programs, taught by dedicated faculty who are experts in their fields, includes short-term certificates and associate degrees that allow easy transfer to four-year schools. Whether you want to take the first steps toward a bachelor’s degree, prepare to enter today’s high-growth fields now or just take a few courses to upgrade your job skills, there’s an option for you in the STEM division at Delaware County Community College.

Combining theoretical instruction with laboratory experience and the use of the latest technologies, our courses range from general survey classes to advanced-level courses that transfer to four-year institutions. They are the same quality as those you’ll find at the region’s four-year colleges and universities.

Our accomplished faculty members bring to the classroom a combination of professional experience and advanced academic study. Best of all, they are committed to helping you succeed, wherever you are in your life and career.

Our facilities are top-notch. We offer our mathematics, science and engineering classes in the brand-new STEM Center, which opened in 2010 and contains state-of-the-art laboratories and the most advanced technology to enhance learning.

We’ll place you in the courses that are right for you – from basic to advanced – so you can build your skills and knowledge one step at a time. If you’re not ready for college-level work, we’ll help you get there. If you’re ready to be challenged, we offer advanced courses that will transfer easily to four-year institutions.

The College offers a wide range of support services to help you succeed in the classroom, including tutoring, the Learning Commons and our Student Resource Center. Our staff is here to support you and help you reach your goals for your education – and your STEM career.

Delaware County Community College is a regional leader in technical education. Whether you’re training for your first job or retraining for a better one, you’ll find the programs, faculty, facilities and technology to give you the skills you need for today’s – and tomorrow’s – technical careers.

Our offerings range from the traditional skilled trades – automotive, electronics, HVAC systems, plumbing and welding – to high-tech engineering technology, all of which support the region’s industries with today’s in-demand highly skilled employees.

The College is especially well known for its engineering technology programs, including computer-aided drafting and design, power utility technology, electronics, nanofabrication, industrial systems, machine tool technology and more. These programs produce highly regarded graduates who are in great demand in the regional workforce.

Given today’s focus on green technologies and renewable energy, the College is developing new courses such as PV Solar, Weatherization, Green Roof Construction and Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems. We expect to add more green technology courses and to “green” our course offerings in the building trades and manufacturing, so our students will be prepared to fill these emerging career opportunities.

In the technical fields, the College offers programs leading to the associate in applied science degree (link 2.3.1) as well as professional certifications and certificates of competency and proficiency (link 2.4.1). These programs prepare you to meet the needs of local industries, or to continue your technical education to the next level.

For local businesses, we offer on-site career degree programs and on-site customized training to meet your workforce training needs.
Many of the College’s technical education programs are offered at the new Advanced Technology Center, which features advanced laboratories and state-of-the-art equipment in fields such as composite materials, industrial systems and machining.
