Program Description & Admissions Informationfor School Year 2019-2020

Located on the Paramus Campus of Bergen Community College, Applied Technology High School provides students a unique educational experience through a blend of academic high school curriculum, college classes, and hands-on technical training. With a curriculum that is centered on “smart machines,” students learn to apply math, science, and technology to hands-on projects in the fields of automation, electronics, and advanced manufacturing as they acquire the essential skills needed to pursue a career in a wide variety of areas including engineering technology. The program’s dual enrollment coursework allows students to earn advanced standing into several technical associates programs at the college, including an A.A.S. program in General Engineering Technology. Associates degrees earned at BCC are transferable to all four-year public colleges and universities in New Jersey.
