CNC Programming and Operations


Program Information

CNC Programming and Operations prepares graduates to work as CNC programmers and operators in manufacturing environments that require high production volumes or short-run batches of discrete parts. The program offers an associate degree and four certificate options. Credit for courses in the certificates can be applied toward the associate degree.

Scheduling and Entry Options

Program courses are offered during the day, beginning in the fall semester of each year, at the Industrial Technology Center (ITC) in Sandy Springs. Entry during any other term will be permitted, but this may limit the courses available. Full-time day students usually complete requirements in six terms. Although courses can be completed in any order, subject to satisfying course prerequisites, students are advised to follow the recommended course sequence. General Education course requirements can be completed at any time during the program on any TCTC campus or online, as available.
