A World Class Program

San Jacinto College's Bachelor of Technology (BAT) program is designed to prepare students for real-world opportunities and jobs. Hear from a recent BAT graduate and current San Jac employee about the program's impact on him.
Travis Dodson-Perez, BAT student and San Jac employee
I have learned more in this semester than I anticipated learning in a year's time.... The students who graduate from this program will go on to be world-class IT professionals.”
Travis Dodson-Perez
BAT student and San Jac employee
Travis never expected to turn his interest in technology into a career while working as a student technology assistant for IT. He says, "After changing majors and slowly earning my associate degree, I was able to accept a full-time position with the South Campus ITS team in late 2019. As soon as I heard rumors of the BAT program being developed, I had my heart set on signing up to earn my bachelor's degree at San Jac. The College is such an incredible place to work and attend classes, and I have fully bought into the mission in my time here. No other bachelor's degree would make me as proud to earn."
