PATHWAY CONNECTION

Hudson County Community College designed the Construction Management one-year certificate program to prepare students for early entry to careers in the construction industry. The program grants 34 college credits and includes general education courses and construction management courses that include technical skills, as well as supervision, planning, coordination, and budgeting of a construction project.

Successful completers of the program will learn to understand and manage all phases of modern-day construction. They will be exposed to new construction methods, protocols, materials, testing procedures, and management principles. Special emphasis is placed on preparing students to attain industry valued credentials including (1) Certified Construction Manager from the Construction Management Association of America, (2) Certified Professional Constructor from the American Institute of Constructors, and (3) Project Management Professional from the Project Management Institute.

The certificate program college credits stack into the Associate of Applied Science in Construction Management degree enabling students to transfer seamlessly to the Associate program.
