This program is designed to provide individuals with the knowledge and skills needed in the construction management field. Classroom and laboratory experiences emphasize commercial, residential and civil related construction. While students are fully employable upon completion of this program, the Associate in Applied Science degree in Construction Management Technology also provides transfer options to four-year colleges and universities in related fields
Students will take classes in the areas of construction materials and methods, blueprint reading, safety, scheduling, specifications and job site responsibilities as well as hands-on classes regarding construction methods, estimating, surveying, material testing and drafting. Students will also take required classes in written and oral communications, math, computer sciences and social sciences.
The construction industry has a high demand for individuals with an education in construction management both regionally and nationally. The Construction Management Technology program will prepare students for a career in construction as a general contractor, construction manager, project manager, project engineer, job site superintendent, estimator, scheduler, quality control and many other managerial positions whose duties and responsibilities ensure that construction projects are completed on-time, on-budget and of the desired quality.
