Our Diesel Technology programs offer a unique, hands-on technology education recognized by industry leaders as one of the nation's leading diesel programs. Our curriculum is relevant to students’ lives and careers, valuable in terms of content and competencies, and connected to the needs of industry. It strives to provide an environment that fosters excellence in learning and one that nurtures discovery of knowledge for advancement, academic excellence in the classroom, and personal growth through collaboration and teamwork.

MSU-Northern features a variety of Diesel Technology offerings including a four year Bachelor of Science degree, an Associate of Applied Science degree, and a minor. The programs are designed to allow one to advance from one to another without losing credits or repeating courses. This allows you to choose the option that best meets your career goals.

The Field Maintenance Option in the Diesel program allows students majoring in Diesel to complete a concentration that enhances their skills in welding and fabrication. Students that complete this option commonly work for construction companies and dealerships and operate service trucks on off site locations.

You can also focus on your particular interest by participating in a cooperative education experience. This opportunity provides you with a chance to explore your field and gain work experience while earning university credit.

MSU-N’s Diesel Program is one of a limited number of universities offering 4-year degrees in Diesel Technology.
