Common questions
Do apprenticeship hours or trade school credits transfer?
Many do. Partner schools evaluate registered apprenticeship completion and technical coursework for credit - often a large chunk toward a bachelor's.
Is this a PMP prep course or a full degree?
These are full degrees and certificates. Some partner programs align with PMI content and can prepare you for the PMP separately.
How is a construction management degree different from an MBA?
Construction management is job-specific: estimating, scheduling, safety, contracts. An MBA is broader business leadership. Advisors help you pick based on where you want to end up.

Takes under 60 seconds. An advisor calls within one business day to confirm your union rate and eligibility.
