Get ready for a four-year Construction Management degree by starting with Shoreline's Construction Management Pre-Major program. This field blends business studies, project leadership, and construction principles. Construction Managers collaborate with government agencies and trade specialists—from architects to tradespeople—overseeing projects from initial planning through completion. Their responsibilities include project planning, cost estimation, hiring skilled professionals, scheduling tasks, maintaining quality and safety standards, and ensuring timely, budget-conscious project delivery.
As part of Shoreline's General Transfer offerings, this specialized program includes coursework meeting Associate in Arts Direct Transfer Agreement (AA-DTA) requirements, leading to a focused degree.
The AA-DTA, Washington's standardized transfer degree, represents a partnership between community colleges and four-year institutions. Credits from this program typically transfer collectively to most Washington bachelor's programs, fulfilling general education prerequisites and granting junior status—though admission isn't automatic. The AA-DTA Major Related Program (MRP) specifically prepares students for construction management programs at select universities. Featuring tailored coursework, this MRP appears as a distinct degree type on transcripts compared to the standard AA-DTA.
