The University of Toledo and Northwest State Community College have established a partnership to offer an associate’s degree in alternative energy technology.  An open house for prospective students will be held 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17 at the Learning Resource Center  where the new program will be housed.  Faculty, admissions and financial aid representatives will be available to discuss the program requirements, answer questions and to offer admissions assistance. The Learning Resource Center is located on UT’s Scott Park Campus of Energy and Innovation at Parkside and Nebraska Avenue.
 
Students enrolled in the new alternative energy technology program will receive their associate’s degree from Northwest State, but take their classes from both institutions at the UT Scott Park Campus of Energy and Innovation.  UT President Dr. Lloyd Jacobs and Northwest State President Dr. Thomas Stuckey signed the partnership agreement this week.
 
The alternative energy technology degree will have two tracks – one for systems design for those interested in developing the technology and the other for systems service for students interested in careers involving installation and maintenance.
 
The students enrolled in the alternative energy technology program would be admitted to both UT and Northwest State, taking the courses from Northwest State faculty housed at Scott Park as well as UT faculty in the science, math and engineering fields.
 
The program will allow students to easily continue their education and receive a bachelor’s degree in engineering technology or individualized programs from UT.
