As the building environment demands new technology and material, so does the necessity for qualified, educated carpenters. In this program, you will learn to safely operate hand and power tools; prepare work sites; and become skilled in the foundation formwork; wall, floor and roof framing; and exterior trim. Graduates will be prepared for supervisory and/or management positions after a few years of practical experience.

There are three options within this program:

• Carpentry Management A.A.S. Degree (A125)

You may choose to earn the technical certificates while completing the requirements for the degree.
