Construction Management

The Construction Management concentration provides students already trained in a construction trade with the opportunity to expand their career opportunities in management and entrepreneurship.  Through general education classes and courses in business and management, students develop the skills needed to move into supervisory roles or to start a small business within their area of technical training and experience.

To gain admission to this program, a student must present: 1) a diploma in construction or a construction trade from Chattanooga State's Tennessee Technology Center or from another Tennessee Technology Center, OR 2) hold a certificate of completion from an apprenticeship program approved by the U.S. Department of Labor requiring at least 1,290 clock hours. Students interested in careers in Construction Management but who do not meet these entry requirements should consider the Construction Engineering Technology Degree which is described in Engineering Technologies.
