Bachelor of Applied Science in Construction Management

Slippery Rock, Pa. – October 07, 2026 -- Slippery Rock University (SRU) and the Eastern Atlantic States (EAS) Carpenters have jointly developed a Bachelor of Applied Science in construction management, with the first online classes starting December 2026.

Union and university build degree on apprenticeship foundations

The EAS Carpenters served as primary architects of the curriculum, designed to let apprentices, journey workers, community college students and career and technical education graduates convert trade experience into a four-year degree. The program includes three embedded certificates covering construction management, construction safety and construction technologies, each serving as a progression milestone toward the bachelor's degree.
