Building Construction Management Technology

Associate of Science Degree in Building Construction Management Technology

Accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202, Telephone: 410-347-7700.

This curriculum prepares students as professional constructors, but not for registration as professional architects or engineers.

This program prepares students to become professional contractors-managers of the construction process. The program emphasizes the management of the people, money, machines, and materials with which structures are built. It stresses production rather than design, and management skills rather than craft skills.

Graduates are prepared to work for all types of contractors: residential, commercial, industrial, highway, heavy, mechanical, electrical and specialty. Graduates also are prepared for work in both the field and the office. Experienced graduates fill positions such as job superintendent, estimator, scheduler, cost analyst, project manager and company executive.

Graduates of this program may continue their education toward the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology: Construction Technology (BCMT option).
