My little brother graduated from here, nice school, very polite ppl.
You cannot get a hold of ANYONE at this place.. Very frustrating school.
Just recently graduated from State Tech and if I could give the school 10 stars I would. Attending State Tech is a decision that I will never regret. The knowledge I gained, real-world experience, and the relationships I built there have prepared me for profitable employment and a life of learning. The college has an Academic Resource Center that provides FREE tutoring to students. One thing I can say about the college is you can tell the staff truly wants to see their students succeed. Something else I want to highlight about State Tech is their AWESOME career expo that they host annually. This gives students the opportunity to have employment discussions with companies directly in their field of study. The career services department of the College is a great resource for Alumni by offering Job Placement for Life. A degree from State Tech is a lot more than "just a piece of paper", it's a key to success. I am proud to be a State Tech Alumni.
Automation and Robotics and Electric Power Generation were great programs that I learned a lot from. But the administration there was worthless, they were a bunch of people with do nothing jobs that would pat themselves on the back at every single opportunity and line there own pockets with our money, or use it to buy the local golf course for "the students" to use even though we still had to pay fees to use it whether we wanted to or not. Or make us help put up lighting so that one of the administrators kids can have their wedding at the school They don't care about any of the students its all just a racket to bring jobs into that little run down town and to put money in their own pockets.
My name is Steven Ferrill and I graduated from Linn Tech/State Tech in 1975 with an associate degree in electronics. I was immediately hired by American Airlines at Lambert Field in St. Louis, which turned out to be the only job I would ever have or ever need. I worked in the avionics department, on call for avionics maintenance at the flight line. My department handled anything that had to do navagation of the aircraft, including autopilots, radar, transponder systems, TCAS (collision avoidence) and other critical navagation systems. AA was was constantly sending me to special schools over the years to keep me up with the rapid advancement in aviation technology. The job paid union scale, which was $57 an hour at the time of my retirement in 2020. I also accrued pension time which would go up with every year worked. AA changed this the penision program in 2004 to a 401k match where my 401k contributions would be matched by the company up to six percent of my pay.
All this is only part of the story. Along with great pay and insurance benefits, AA offered travel benefits to it's employees on it's vast, world-wide network. I am retired two years now. At this time I have traveled to 47 states and 54 countries. Today I split my retirement time between my home in St. Louis and my condo in Pattaya, Thailand.
I have State Tech to thank for everything I have today. The excellent education I received there prepared me for a great job and a good life.
THANK YOU STATE TECH!!!
Mostly great instructors, some are terrible. The administration wastes money left and right, and treats the school like a piggy bank. I can recall in my English class writing proposals to fix stuff around school because of how many complaints there were. Even if they fixed certain things, the attitude of the administration leaves much to be desired, and does not care about students beyond the money they provide.
Great place to go to college. I was in the IEL program and the EDS program. If you do your work, you can easily pass. They have an ARC which is free Tutoring. I was a college officer so I met a lot of students from all programs and they all enjoyed it. Believe it or not I actually miss being in college it was that fun of an experience here. The town is small but it’s just right outside of Jefferson City so you can get anything you need.
