Associate of Science, Construction Management Option, (202006ZAS)
The Associate of Science (Construction Management option) is an online degree offered through collaboration between the Department of Civil Engineering in the College of Engineering and Polymer Science and the Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences. The Associate of Science degree teaches students to think critically and creatively about their perceptions of ideas, events and people. The Construction Management option curriculum prepares students for careers in the construction industry as field supervisors, foremen, project management assistants, field technicians, quality control inspectors and other related first-line supervisory positions.
Requirements for Admission
Students who need developmental (non-college-credit-bearing) courses to prepare for their academic work at UA are placed in a pre-admission status for this program. They can take coursework towards the degree while in a pre-admission status when they meet course prerequisites, and they are fully admitted to the program when their developmental courses are successfully completed.
The following information has official approval of The Buchtel College of Arts & Sciences, but is intended only as a supplemental guide. Official degree requirements are established at the time of transfer and admission to the degree-granting college. Students should refer to the Degree Progress Report (Stellic) which is definitive for graduation requirements. Completion of this degree within the identified time frame below is contingent upon many factors, including but not limited to: class availability, total number of required credits, work schedule, finances, family, course drops/withdrawals, successfully passing courses, prerequisites, among others. The transfer process is completed through an appointment with your academic advisor.
Transfer students should consult their Advisor to identify courses that are equivalent.
