Students can earn an associate’s degree in Construction Management or a certificate in Construction Codes. In addition to the general education and core courses, the program incorporates preparatory work for professional certification tests. After completing the relevant courses, the student is eligible to take the International Code Council Examinations.

The primary purpose of an Associate in Applied Science degree is to prepare students for employment. The AAS degree is not designed specifically for transfer; however, there are opportunities to apply some coursework or the whole degree to a bachelor’s degree program.
