Why major in Automotive Technology?

While the Automotive industry isn’t for everyone, it is very likely the perfect field for you. If you like cars, and want to be a part of the ever-changing automotive world, why not pursue a career that you will enjoy? The skills and knowledge you will gain while earning your automotive degree are in high demand. Employers are begging for qualified people who can solve problems, understand how things work, deal with people, and maintain a high level of integrity. You could be just the person they are looking for!

Why BYU-Idaho?

Other schools teach automotive classes, but BYU-Idaho can help you prepare for the most important things in your life while you prepare for your career. You will be learning in a spiritual environment where your testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ can be strengthened, and you will associate with friends, roommates, and classmates who share your values.

Bonus: the tuition at BYU-Idaho is less expensive than most universities!

What if I'm not sure I want to be a "mechanic?"

That’s okay—because mechanics don’t even exist anymore! Because today’s automobiles are much more advanced than they were a few years ago, it takes a highly-trained “technician” to troubleshoot and repair modern cars.

Did you know- Most of our four-year graduates pursue management-type jobs, but even managers in the automotive field need to know all about how cars work.
