Milwaukee, WI - Harley-Davidson Motor Company has formed partnerships with two colleges in Kansas, Fort Scott Community College and Pittsburg State University, to design a curriculum offering associate, bachelor and masters degree programs in applied science and motorcycle service technology.
In addition to holding classrooms, labs and computers, the facility will be modeled after a large Harley-Davidson dealership featuring a service area, parts area and counter, a paint area, a dyno room, tire service area, service manager's area, break room and a showroom complete with accessories and checkout.
The three entities designed the new curriculum for the degree programs to complement traditional technical courses. All programs include traditional and non-technical college courses and offer internship programs with participating Harley-Davidson dealerships.
These partnerships allow Harley-Davidson to offer a two-year/five semester Associates Degree in Applied Science and a four-year Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Motorcycle Service Technology. Classes are scheduled to begin August 2004.
