Carpentry
Certificate of Applied Science
Associate of Applied Science Degree
The Carpentry program provides students the opportunity to learn carpentry skills in a competency-based environment based on national standards. Traditional and non-traditional students work hand-in-hand with professionals both on campus and at construction sites.
Students use hand and power tools with blueprints to build
foundation forms, frame buildings, side and roof buildings, and apply roofing materials. They install windows, doors, stairs, attic vents, insulation, vapor barriers, and drywall. Students learn methods for installing trim, locksets, suspended
ceilings, countertops, cabinets, and flooring. They learn to operate forklifts, generators, compressors, and compactors. In addition to general education courses, students in the program learn the various steps of becoming a carpenter, including safe practices. They can construct real-world projects and can earn a one-year Certificate of Applied Science, or a two-year Associate of Applied Science degree from the University of Montana.
Credit for Independent Study may be available to those desiring additional instruction in Carpentry.
Successful completion of the first year courses result in the award of a Certificate of Applied Science in Carpentry.
Successful completion of the first and second year courses result in the award of an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Carpentry.
