Construction Management Technology, A.S.

Program Overview

The mission of the Construction Management Technology program at Santa Fe College is to promote and improve construction education in our geographic area by providing construction management training for entry-level practitioners in residential and light commercial construction.

Growth in the state of Florida and changes in the construction industry mandate that builders and their supervisory employees have business and management skills in addition to being knowledgeable in the construction trades and the construction process. Associate in Science degree graduates from the Construction Management Technology program at SF understand basic principles of business and have knowledge of the technical aspects of the construction industry. Graduates are able to function in the construction office environment and on the job site.

The Construction Management Technology program at SF offers building construction courses for different types of students. The A.S. in Construction Management Technology gives graduates technical skills required in the industry and blends business management training for light construction in a two-year degree program. The A.A. degree with construction emphasis is designed to prepare the graduate to transfer to a four-year university and to pursue a bachelor’s degree in building construction. Several courses taught in the A.S. degree program transfer to four-year institutions as either electives or as required upper division courses with the graduate’s A.A. degree. Please check degree requirements and transfer courses accepted by Construction Management programs at upper level universities.

Many courses in the A.S. degree program are taught at the entry level and are open to the public and to industry members to update training.
