Advising Information

Program Outcomes

The Construction Management (AS) degree at Snow College is unique in its approach by emphasizing the management aspect of construction projects, while at the same time training students in practical construction (job-ready) skills in a state-of-the-art facility.  Throughout their time in the program, students gain knowledge in building codes, sustainable construction, materials and methods, estimating, scheduling, and project management.  The classroom theory is then applied to hands-on projects in residential and light commercial construction.  Upon completion of the Construction Management (AS), students will be prepared for transfer to a 4-year institution and continue on in their academic career path.  Alternatively, students are well prepared for a wide variety of careers within the construction and building design industry.
