Program Pathways Overview
| Program | Est. Tuition | Est. Duration | Credit Hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial A.A.S. | $8.8K in-state / $15.3K out-of-state | 2 years (5 terms) | 60 |
Tuition estimates use Wiregrass Tech’s fall 2026 per-credit tuition plus $483 in mandatory fees per term.
- Why choose it: Wiregrass Tech’s Commercial A.A.S. lets students pick their math course from College Algebra up to Calculus II and leaves 9 occupational credits open for electives, so students can shape the degree toward transfer or a specialty.
- Trade-off: The catalog lists no internship, no ACCE accreditation, and no construction-specific transfer agreement, and it doesn’t name the 9 elective credits.

Commercial Construction Management A.A.S.
The estimated tuition for the Commercial Construction Management A.A.S. at Wiregrass Georgia Technical College is approximately $8,835 (60 credits at $107/credit plus five terms of fees). The program can generally be completed in about 2 years (5 terms).
The Commercial Construction Management, AAS Degree (CC13) prepares students for management roles at firms that plan and build commercial projects, covering estimating, contract administration, scheduling, finance, safety, and construction methods. Wiregrass lists first-line supervisor of construction trades as the target occupation.
Commercial A.A.S. Curriculum
The degree combines 15 general education credits with 45 occupational credits.
- General education: ENGL 1101, one math course, and 3 credits each in social science, humanities, and a general education elective
- Estimating: CCMN 1060 Construction Estimating I, CCMN 2070 Construction Estimating II
- Scheduling and project management: CCMN 2020 Construction Scheduling, CCMN 2040 Construction Project Management
- Building technology and safety: CCMN 1000 Introduction to Construction and Development, CCMN 1020 Building Technologies and Methods, CCMN 1030 Construction Graphics, CCMN 1040 Construction Safety
- Legal (choose one, 3 credits): CCMN 2010 Construction Law or MGMT 1110 Employment Rules and Regulations
- Accounting (4 credits): CCMN 2030 Construction Accounting and Financial Management
- Advisor-guided occupational electives: 9 credits
Eight required courses (29 credits) cover estimating, scheduling, project management, safety, and building technology. The other 16 occupational credits are partly open: students can swap construction law for a general employment-law course, and 9 credits are electives chosen with an advisor. That flexibility suits students who already know their direction, but it means two graduates can leave with different coursework.
You Should Know
- The catalog doesn’t list which courses count toward the 9 elective credits.
- The 2025-26 catalog lists only CCMN 2030 under the accounting choice; the 2024-25 catalog also allowed ACCT 1100 Financial Accounting I.
- Wiregrass has posted a 2026-27 catalog, but the program page reviewed here is the 2025-26 version.
- Software is not named in the catalog.
Commercial A.A.S. Internship and Field Experience
- No internship or practicum course is listed.
- Whether the elective credits can include CCMN 2500 Internship-Practicum is not clearly stated.
Students who want job-site experience before graduating should ask an advisor whether the internship course can fill part of the elective block.
Commercial A.A.S. Admissions
- Admission follows Wiregrass Tech’s general college admission and placement requirements.
- Students headed to a four-year construction program should choose Precalculus or Calculus I as their math course.

Why Choose This Construction Management Program?

Flexible coursework: The open math choice and 9 elective credits let students lean toward transfer (precalculus or calculus) or toward a specialty. Students should map electives with an advisor in the first term.
Compared with other Georgia technical colleges: Gwinnett Technical College’s Commercial A.A.S. is ACCE-accredited and requires an internship.
