Build a Career in Construction

Associate of Science (AS) in Construction Management

Calls have already begun for federal stimulus dollars to be invested in the nation’s infrastructure as a way to stimulate economic growth. Such a construction boom means high demand for skilled construction managers, who oversee scheduling, budgeting, and modeling for complex projects.

Our Construction Management Associate of Science program will give you a strong foundation in technical and organizational skills that apply to construction projects from conception to completion. You will also learn green building practices, building information modeling, scheduling, and estimating.

The scale and scope of the construction manager’s role has expanded to include the approach known as integrated project delivery. As a result, construction managers are now part of the project delivery team from the outset, rather than joining just before construction starts as was once common practice. This increased exposure early in the process requires that construction management technicians have knowledge of design, construction, facility management, and other tasks that were once carried out by other agents working on a project.

Graduates of our CM program are work-ready!
