Electrical Power Technology

Pratt Community College offers one of the most comprehensive Electrical Power Technology Programs in the nation. One of only three in the state of Kansas, it offers students a variety of convenient ways to attend classes through on campus courses, distance education and on the job training. The program is offered at three locations: Pratt, Coffeyville and Wichita.

Electrical Power Technology also offers degrees in Applied Science and Job Certification. The program does not keep a waiting list. The program fills classes on a first come, first served basis. However, classes do fill up quickly and we encourage students to pre-enroll as soon as possible.
