Millersville University offers a 4-year Bachelor of Science in Automation & Robotics Engineering Technology (AURO) degree and a 2-year Associate of Technology in Applied Engineering & Technology with a concentration in Control Systems Technology (AET-CST). These are described below along with links to the Millersville University Undergraduate Catalog so you can read about the courses you will take in each major.
The Bachelor of Science in Automation & Robotics Engineering Technology (AURO) introduces students to the fundamentals of power, electronic systems, and formal programming techniques common in industry. The curriculum, supported jointly by the departments of Applied Engineering, Safety & Technology and Computer Science, includes in depth technical content of electronics, control systems, mechanical systems, and computer programming and applications to prepare professionals equipped to design, improve, maintain, and manage robotic and automated process and control systems. Laboratory courses require students to design, program, develop and construct projects independently and in small teams.
The study of robotics and controls involves the design, modeling, optimization, documentation, and automation of advanced control problems. This major is designed to produce graduates prepared to work with multiple types of technology to design and implement projects that have advanced programming needs.
Students in the AURO degree program will complete courses from applied engineering, computer science, math, and physics. The AURO degree allows students to choose from an emphasis on computer science or technology management. The link below will open a new tab with course requirements and descriptions.

Millersville University has a rolling deadline. However, we do recommend students to apply at least two months prior to the beginning of the start of a semester to ensure enough time for immigration processing at U.S. embassies and consulates overseas. With this in mind, we suggest the following advisory deadlines: Fall - June 1; Spring - November 1.
*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
