Students interested in or pursuing an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree should investigate the Capstone Option and participating majors at SIUC. Individuals who apply and are approved for a degree program under Capstone are able to earn a bachelor’s degree in just 60 semester credits beyond the AAS degree. The general education or University Core Curriculum requirement for majors under Capstone is set at 30 semester credits rather than 41.
One of the Capstone options available to Construction Management Technology degree holders is a major in Technical Resource Management (TRM) which can lead to a bachelor’s degree with an emphasis in Construction Management.
For Capstone Option consideration and approval, candidates must submit a Capstone Option application along the Undergraduate Admission application, must earn the AAS degree and must have an earned GPA of at least 2.5 (A= 4.0). Approval means that you can complete bachelor’s degree requirements in just 60 planned semester credits beyond the AAS degree.

The Construction Management Technology Program is a minimum of 70 credit hours. Please use our Tuition and Fees page to calculate your approximate cost.
