Process Plant Technology

Curriculum Course-Descriptions   Educational Plan

Bismarck State College proudly offers an instructor-led, accredited online and on campus Process Plant Technology program. The Process Plant Technology program was created in 1981 in response to industry demand for qualified process plant operators.

A career in Process Plant Technology provides excellent pay and employability for years to come. High demand is expected for process plant operators as the existing workforce retires and as the industry evolves and expands.

This program prepares students for employment in operating refineries, ethanol plants, gasification plants, petrochemical plants, and related processing plants.

Students learn the technical and safety aspects of plant operations, the responsibilities of plant operators and the mechanical and chemical technology needed for working in related industrial operations. Students who complete this program will earn an Associate in Applied Science degree.

Prospective students should be prepared for the physical demands of the work of entry-level technician positions when considering this program. Typical industry entry-level position requirements include passing a physical exam, which may include: lifting 50+ pounds, climbing ladders, working in confined spaces, heights, etc. When applying for jobs applicants may also be required to pass a drug screen and an eye exam, including the ability to distinguish between colors accurately.

Credits from this program can be applied to BSC's Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Energy Management also available entirely online.
