Earn Your Engineering Technology Degree

Northrop Grumman (NG) and Utah State University (USU) have come together to provide NG learners the opportunity to earn their bachelor's of engineering technology.

NG employees build on the knowledge and skill sets already acquired at work. Courses will teach concepts, principles, methods, and provide opportunities to develop in-demand skills that they can apply to the job the next day.

Tuition reimbursement is available to all eligible employees. Advisors will provide assistance transferring existing college credit or certificates from other institutions to reduce the amount of credits needed for graduation.

This program will require several math-intensive courses. The ALEKS placement exam will help employees identify where they currently are and which math course(s) they should begin with to ensure they are adequately prepared for the program’s courses.
