The Baltimore City Community College (BCCC) Construction Supervision Program prepares students to serve as assistant project managers, construction supervisors or independent business owners in the construction industry. The curriculum provides experience and instruction in safety regulations, blueprint reading, construction methods, estimating, scheduling, operational procedures, effective communication, procurement and fiscal and business management. Students seeking a dynamic career in the construction industry can earn a degree or certificate.

The degree option is designed for both experienced tradespeople and those with no prior knowledge of the construction trades. Students who complete the degree program are qualified to transfer to bachelor’s degree programs in construction management. The certificate option is ideal for workers who wish to upgrade existing skills or advance in their careers, as well as small business owners who are looking for additional training in a specific area. Both programs include mandatory individual study courses that provide students with excellent opportunities to complete internships in the construction industry. Special scholarships are available for qualified Baltimore City residents.
