About Southwestern Illinois College (school-wide)

Southwestern Illinois College offers a 65-credit Welding Technology Associate in Applied Science and three stackable certificates. Official curricula progress from entry-level Stick, Flux-Core, oxy-fuel cutting, and air-carbon-arc gouging into MIG, TIG, pipe or structural fabrication, plasma-arc cutting, welding automation, robotic welding, and CNC cutting. Day and evening welding classes are documented at Belleville, Sam Wolf Granite City, East St. Louis, and Red Bud, with credential availability recorded conservatively from campus-specific sources.
