Cert in Construction Management

The Construction Management diploma prepares students for supervisory roles in construction. It combines management courses, such as supervision, blueprint reading, managing projects and construction-business accounting, with hands-on carpentry classes that give a broad view of the industry. Students choose a specialization worth 22 to 23 credits, such as the commercial track, so total credits are 53 to 55. The program takes at least four terms at Griffin, with entry in Fall, Spring or Summer. A coordinator oversees the program. Applicants provide an application and fee, are at least 16, send transcripts, and complete the placement assessment. Class offerings can shift between terms and locations, so students are encouraged to talk with a program advisor about sequencing and how best to plan their route to finishing.
