Credits Carpenters make up the largest group of building-trade workers. They build house frameworks, frame roofs and interiors, and install doors, windows, flooring, cabinets, molding, and trim.
Carpenters work quickly, accurately, and efficiently to maximize use of time and materials.
A carpenter's job is active and sometimes strenuous. Skills in planning, design, estimating and blueprint reading are an integral part of the training in the Carpentry Program major. This program major requires a minimum of 64 credits with the diploma option and 72 credits with the degree option. The college also offers four carpentry-related specialty certificate programs. Entry each semester and part-time enrollment are possible, but not all required courses and electives are available every term.
