The Residential Carpentry program coursework will provide the student with a mix of technical and general education, theory and hands-on learning experiences. The student progresses from basic skills to those required of a carpenter’s apprentice. General areas of study include building codes, blueprint reading, estimating, site building-science layout, concrete, framing, and interior & exterior finish. The program provides graduates with skills required of a carpenter in a variety of building construction settings common in rural, metro or reservation settings. Or you may choose to further your education towards a two-year Integrated Residential Builder A.A.S. (60 credits). All of the courses in the one year Residential Carpentry program (30 credits) are required for the two year Integrated Residential Builder A.A.S. degree program.
