Schools are certified for one-year periods; Penn College’s certification will remain in effect through Aug. 31. The college has earned certification for its computer aided drafting technology associate-degree major every year since 1997.

In addition to an associate degree in computer aided drafting technology, Penn College offers a bachelor’s degree in computer aided product design.
