Program Description & Outcomes:
The Construction Management (CM) Program at Snow College offers students excellent,
practical training in state-of-the-art residential and light commercial construction.
Students develop or enhance their skills in areas such as cabinet making and millwork,
rough and finish carpentry, architectural drafting (including Computer-aided drafting
systems), computerized estimating and work scheduling. An advisory committee consisting
of industry professionals is consulted regularly to enhance the program and keep its
offerings current.
Students who enroll in this program must be in good mental and physical condition
so they can perform required tasks. For some courses, a student must be able to lift
100 lbs., be able to climb ladders and scaffolding, and operate power equipment safely.
Meeting these requirements will help students work towards a safe and rewarding career
in the construction industry.
The two-year curriculum also includes management and business courses students need
to become successful contractors, builders, carpenters, cabinetmakers, or subcontractors.
In addition, the program offers a solid base for students who want to transfer into
advance programs that lead to professional employment in the construction industry,
such as industrial education, construction management, or architecture.

Program Description & Outcomes:
The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree is a highly field-based program that
prepares students for direct employment upon graduation. It accomplishes this by having
students involved in government and private agency projects coupled with pertinent
classroom instruction. The program prepares students to have an employment edge by
providing certifications, instruction, experience, and knowledge required to be directly
employable without the need for extensive on-the-job training. The program is designed
to get students immediately involved in fieldwork through internships with public
and private organizations such as the Forest Service, BLM, state agencies, and industrial
organizations. Students will take fewer General Education (GE) classes, and focus
more towards natural resources related courses.
