Construction Management Technology A.A.S.
The estimated tuition for the Construction Management Technology A.A.S. at Ogeechee Technical College is approximately $8,060 (60 credits at $107/credit plus four semesters of fees). The program can generally be completed in about 2 years (4 semesters).
The Construction Management Technology Associate of Applied Science (CMT3) prepares students for entry-level project manager, superintendent, and junior estimator roles, combining hands-on carpentry with residential estimating, code review, drafting, and scheduling.
A.A.S. Curriculum
- General education (15 credits): ENGL 1101, PSYC 1101 or SOCI 1101, MATH 1101 Mathematical Modeling or MATH 1111 College Algebra, a humanities course, and a general core elective
- Carpentry core (23 credits): COFC 1080 Construction Trades Core, CARP 1000 Fundamental Carpentry Skills, CARP 1015 and CARP 1020 Structural Framing I and II, CARP 1025 Intermediate Carpentry Techniques, CARP 1035 Advanced Carpentry Procedures
- Residential specialization (22 credits): CARP 1055 Advanced Carpentry II, CMTT 2010 Residential Estimating Review, CMTT 2020 Construction Drafting I, CMTT 2050 Residential Code Review, CMTT 2130 Computerized Construction Scheduling, ACCT 2140 Legal Environment of Business or CMTT 2170 Construction Contracting, and a 3-credit occupational elective
About 27 of the 45 occupational credits are carpentry and construction fundamentals, and the management courses are residential. The degree suits students who want to build homes and move into supervising crews, more than office roles at commercial general contractors.
You Should Know
- The catalog’s career section and curriculum heading call the degree “Commercial Construction Management Technology,” but the only specialization listed is residential.
- The program description mentions project management and accounting for construction businesses, but the curriculum lists no project management or accounting course.
- Scheduling software is not named in the catalog.
A.A.S. Internship and Field Experience
No internship or practicum course is listed. Students get hands-on experience through about 27 credits of carpentry lab courses.
A.A.S. Admissions
- Applicants must be at least 16 and submit a high school or GED transcript.
- Placement minimums include Next Gen ACCUPLACER Reading 236, Writing 249, and Algebra 245, or equivalent SAT, ACT, or other scores.
- Students may enter any semester.
Construction Management Technology Diploma
The estimated tuition for the Construction Management Technology Diploma at Ogeechee Technical College is approximately $7,311 (53 credits at $107/credit plus four semesters of fees). The program can generally be completed in about 2 years (4 semesters).
The Construction Management Technology Diploma (CM22) includes the same 45 occupational credits as the A.A.S., with basic skills courses in place of general education.
Diploma Curriculum
- Basic skills (8 credits): ENGL 1010 Fundamentals of English I, MATH 1012 Foundations of Mathematics, and EMPL 1000 or PSYC 1101
- Occupational (45 credits): the same carpentry core and residential management courses as the A.A.S.
Because the occupational courses match the degree, diploma graduates can later add the general education core to finish the A.A.S.
Diploma Internship and Field Experience
No internship is listed.
Diploma Admissions
- Placement minimums include Next Gen ACCUPLACER Reading 224, Writing 236, and Arithmetic 229, or equivalent scores.
- Students may enter any semester.
Construction Manager Certificate
The estimated tuition for the Construction Manager Certificate at Ogeechee Technical College is approximately $2,425 (15 credits at $107/credit plus two semesters of fees). The program can generally be completed in about 1 year (2 semesters).
The Construction Manager Certificate (CM81) prepares students for entry-level construction supervision without the carpentry courses.
Certificate Curriculum
- CMTT 2020 Construction Drafting I
- CMTT 2010 Residential Estimating Review
- CMTT 2050 Residential Code Review
- CMTT 2130 Computerized Construction Scheduling
- ACCT 2140 Legal Environment of Business or CMTT 2170 Construction Contracting
All five courses are part of the A.A.S. and diploma, so the certificate counts toward either.
Certificate Internship and Field Experience
No internship is required.
Certificate Admissions
- Same placement minimums as the diploma; students may enter any semester.

Ogeechee Tech charges $107 per credit in-state and $214 out-of-state, with in-state tuition capped at $1,605 per semester at 15 or more credits. Mandatory fees total $410 per semester. Over the A.A.S.’s four semesters, an in-state student pays about $134.33 per credit.
| Item | In-State | Out-of-State |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition per credit | $107 | $214 |
| Mandatory fees per semester | $410 | $410 |
| A.A.S. (60 credits, 4 semesters) | $8,060 | $14,480 |

Be aware that:
- Course supply fees for the carpentry courses in the A.A.S. and diploma total about $415 (for example, $85 for CARP 1055 and $60 each for CARP 1015, 1025, and 1035). The certificate’s courses carry no listed supply fees.
- Four semesters of 15 credits each would put the A.A.S. exactly at the tuition cap, so the estimate assumes full-time enrollment.
- Totals are derived (credits × rate plus fees per semester); part-time students will pay more in semester fees.
- Books and tools are not included.
- Georgia’s HOPE Grant, HOPE Career Grant, and HOPE Scholarship can cover tuition for eligible residents.
Why Choose This Construction Management Program?
A good fit for southeast Georgia students who want carpentry skills and a residential construction management credential in Statesboro.
Compared with Lanier Tech: Lanier Technical College uses the same carpentry course sequence but adds a commercial track and a project management course; Ogeechee’s degree is residential only and uses a 3-credit occupational elective in place of project management. Oconee Fall Line Technical College offers the commercial counterpart on a similar carpentry core.
Bachelor’s option nearby: Georgia Southern University’s ACCE-accredited B.S. in Construction is also in Statesboro. The catalog states no transfer agreement between the two, so students should check course-by-course transfer before choosing electives.
Short management option: Tradespeople with field experience can take the 15-credit certificate in two semesters and apply all of it to the diploma or A.A.S. later.
Accreditation and Credentials
Ogeechee Technical College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), which supports credit transfer and federal financial aid eligibility.
The construction management programs are not on ACCE’s accredited associate-degree list (Rev. 2025.03.20), and Ogeechee Tech states no programmatic accreditation for them.
Ogeechee also offers Carpentry Fundamentals, Carpentry Technology, and Advanced Carpentry certificates, which are not profiled here. The college doesn’t state any credit toward contractor licensing.
