Fit a Degree Into Your Internship
Guided by its focus on current practitioners, the coursework in this program deviates from Butler’s standard requirements in order to respect the educational background of students coming from different apprenticeship programs.
Plumber and Pipefitter, Apprenticeship and Degree
The Butler/PPATKS partnership allows plumber and pipefitter interns to earn an Associate of Applied Science degree, in person or online, while working toward a professional certificate. Once a Journeyman’s card is issued a maximum of 47 credit hours will be applied toward the AAS degree.
