Program Information

Students wishing to complete the General Technology (GT) Degree in Building and Construction Trades must first successfully complete at least one of the six trades certificates mentioned in the  BCT program overview prior to entering the Building Management Certificate (BCM). A student must then successfully complete the BCM certificate along with the required academics that are listed below. This can be seen in the GT Degree path page.
