Cabinet and Furniture Technology

Our Mission is to help students prepare to make a living at Woodworking.

Our programs prepare our students to open their own woodworking business or become employed by a high-end woodworking related business. We currently offer an Associate of Arts Degrees in 3 different areas. Students may also take coursework to complete a Certificate. Our courses range from Furniture Design to Timber Framing, and from Guitar building to Production Cabinetmaking. With the diversity of courses available students who specialize are highly employable.

Fifty-Plus Years of Excellence 1956-2011 with an annual enrollment of 2,000 students in over 50 different classes, the Palomar College Cabinet and Furniture Technology program offers the most comprehensive woodworking career curriculum in the nation. Utilizing three fully-equipped shops, our 3 full-time and 25 part-time instructors provide a breadth of courses and depth of expertise impossible to obtain in smaller programs.
