Automotive Technology Degree and Certificate Programs

MassBay has partnered with Toyota/Lexus, General Motors, and Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/RAM to offer three specialized program options designed to prepare you for a career as a manufacturer-certified technician. Each of these manufacturer-sponsored programs provides students with the same high-quality training provided to manufacturer-level technicians and allow graduates the chance to become manufacturer-certified upon graduation. Please note, MassBay no longer offers a BMW program.

Looking for a different manufacturer? Prefer to work for a local repair shop or fleet facility? MassBay's General Studies: All-Brand program offers a high-quality automotive technical education without the commitment to a single manufacturer or brand.

Regardless of your program choice, all MassBay Automotive Academy programs include fully paid internships through cooperative education with our industry partners. Throughout your training at MassBay, you will earn money and get real-world, hands-on experience at a Toyota/Lexus, General Motors (Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC) or Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/RAM dealership. General Studies: All-Brand students can work for any program-approved dealership or repair facility. This cooperative education program allows students to "earn while they learn" and gives MassBay Automotive Academy graduates a 99% job placement rate upon graduation.

Our Automotive Technology Programs are selective programs, which means 
they have limited seats and specific admission requirements. 
The next application cycle is for a Fall 2027 (September) start. 

There is a two-step application process:

• Step 1: Apply to MassBay
  Apply anytime to MassBay with your desired Automotive Technology program as your major. You will be admitted as General Studies with an Automotive Track. This allows you to get started with the general admission process and complete any required steps.
• Step 2: Complete the Selective Application
  Once all your admissions requirements have been satisfied, submit the Selective Application. You must complete the secondary Selective Application to be considered for admission to an Automotive Technology Program.
   

IMPORTANT: The Selective Application for all Automotive Technology Programs will open on February 1, 2027. For more information about the admissions process, requirements, and application deadlines, please visit our Selective Admissions Page.
