Purpose

The Construction Science Program is designed to prepare students to enter the construction industry workforce in both the residential and commercial sectors. The Construction Science Program will provide students with skills and knowledge in a variety of construction disciplines such as construction safety, framing, interior finishing, mechanical, electrical, plumbing estimating, and contracts. The course of instruction outlined for this program is designed to lead to a Level One Certificate (CERT) and an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree.

Admission Requirements

Students are admitted to the Construction Science Program through the regular college admission procedures (see Admission Regulations section). Students will receive a Level One Certificate and/or an A.A.S. degree upon satisfactory completion of the courses below for each corresponding credential requirement and upon making formal application for graduation (see Curricula section). The Level One Certificate is Texas Success Initiative (TSI) exempt, however; those not meeting TSI requirements are encouraged to enroll in the appropriate developmental course(s). Students who wish to pursue the A.A.S. degree must meet all TSI requirements.
