Do bachelors degree (BHD) students take the same courses as the associates degree (HP or HV) students?
A unique and valuable aspect of Penn College’s HVAC programs is that they share courses in the first two years. All bachelor’s degree students take the same courses as the associate’s degree students. Why is this “valuable”? Because the employers of our BHD students say one of their strongest assets is their understanding of actual equipment and how it is installed and how it needs to be serviced. Most mechanical engineers that enter the HVAC design field lack knowledge of these important aspects. The BHD students have slightly different requirements for math and social science during their first two years than the associate’s degree students.
