Construction Management

Program Year (2023-2024)

About the Program

The Associate of Science Degree in Construction Management prepares students to transfer into a bachelor’s degree program in the junior year of a 4 year program. With the completion of this degree, students will possess fundamental knowledge and skills required in the field of construction management which include planning, coordinating, budgeting and supervising construction projects from start to finish in a growing nationwide field.  Our neighboring 4-year institution (CSU Chico) has a thriving and mature Construction Management program that we have modeled our curriculum on to optimize the transferability of credits.

The nationwide market for construction is in desperate need of skilled labor over the spectrum of construction roles required in a diverse and thriving economy (Construction and Construction Management is one of the most rapidly growing labor markets in the US).  Recently, our more immediate area was struck by the Camp Wildfire which destroyed over 15,000 structures.  In the next decade and beyond, our local industry partners anticipate significant additional need for skilled labor as we recover from this unprecedented event.
