Alfred State College has received approval to offer an associate degree program in heavy equipment operation at the Applied Technology Campus in Wellsville, NY, to begin accepting students in Fall 2006. The two-year program will teach students to operate heavy equipment such as bulldozers, backhoes, wheel loaders, and excavators used in the construction and maintenance of roads, bridges, airports, gas and oil pipelines, tunnels, buildings and other structures; in surface mining and quarrying activities; and in material handling work, and will be based upon the modular format that has been successful on the campus for 40 years.
