Welcome
The MOPAR-Chrysler/Dodge/RAM/Jeep College Automotive Program is a two-year automotive program designed to provide Chrysler dealers with highly qualified and motivated entry-level technicians. The curriculum is designed by Chrysler and SCC and leads to an associate degree. The program involves attending classroom lecture and laboratory experiences on Chrysler products at SCC’s Milford Campus and a unique opportunity for students to work at a Chrysler dealership. Since considerable time is spent at the dealership, the program requires students to have a sponsoring Chrysler dealer. The main responsibility of the dealership is to provide training-related employment for the student during the work experience periods.
