This program gives apprentice and journey-level members of the articulated union building trade apprenticeship programs the opportunity to apply their training and experience toward an associate in applied science degree in construction supervision. In addition to the courses in construction supervision, students will complete general education courses and receive nontraditional credit for their work experience and apprenticeship.
This associate in applied science degree requires fewer general education classes than the associate in science degree.
All of the classes—both the construction supervision classes and the general education classes—are entirely online. They provide the ultimate in convenience, since you never have to set foot on campus.
This is a high demand, high skill and high wage program as defined by the Michigan Community College Network.

2023-2024 Academic Requirements
This program gives apprentice and journey-level members of the articulated union building trade apprenticeship programs the opportunity to apply their apprenticeship training and trade-related experience toward an associate's degree in Construction Supervision. In addition to the courses in Construction Supervision, students will complete general education courses and receive prior learning credit for their work experience and apprenticeship.
Students must complete an apprenticeship program concentration in plumbing, pipefitting, HVAC, sprinkler fitting, ironworking, bricklaying, tile setting or other approved union building trade. Upon completion of this, students should apply for non-traditional credit evaluation of their apprenticeship experiences to meet the apprentice program concentration requirement (19-26 credits).
