Associate in Science degree - Construction
Catalog 2012-2013
Upon successful completion of one of the areas of specialization, the student will have the necessary knowledge and skills for a career in building or construction inspection, or for supervision responsibilities in the construction industry. This program is also valuable for those already employed in the field who wish to upgrade their skills.
To earn an associate in science degree with a major in construction, students must complete each course used to meet a major requirement with a “C” grade or higher and complete all graduation requirements as listed in the catalog. A student is eligible for graduation with an associate in science degree after the satisfactory completion of one of three areas of specialization, graduation requirements and degree-applicable elective coursework for a total of 60 units. Degree requirements can be completed by attending classes in the day, the evening, or both. Certain courses may satisfy both major and other graduation requirements; however, the units are only counted once.
General Education Option 1 (DVC General Education) is appropriate for students who do not intend to transfer. DVC construction students who intend to transfer must consult with a program advisor or counselor to ensure that the requirements for transfer to four-year institutions of their choice are met. Students who intend to transfer are advised to select either General Education Option 2 (IGETC) or Option 3 (CSU G.E.).
Students are limited to one associate in science degree in construction regardless of the number of specializations completed. Multiple certificates of achievement may be awarded.
