The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Building Safety and Construction Technology is designed to prepare students for positions as building inspectors for local municipalities and construction companies. The building inspector’s work involves face-to-face relationships with building contractors, trades people, architects, engineers, homeowners, and other members of the general public. A thorough knowledge of building codes and construction methods accompanied by good communication and judgement skills is emphasized throughout the program. A Certificate of Completion (CCL) is also available. Program Notes: Students must earn a grade of “C” or better in all courses required within the program. Students planning to transfer to a four-year college or university should contact the Transfer Center for specific information on transfer requirements. Admission Criteria: None.
