The program was designed as the upper level of associate degree programs in architectural, civil, construction and environmental control technologies. It adds the financial, legal, project management and additional technical courses that meet the demanding needs of the facilities management industry. This associate and baccalaureate degree format gives students an underlying expertise and a “can do” ability that is a hallmark of City Tech graduates. In addition, there are elective courses in facilities management that allow students to further develop their specialty in building engineering, construction management, or space planning.

In addition to this 2+2 program, there are two other tracks to the bachelor of technology degree in Facilities Management:

• City Tech students can elect a lower-level curriculum that includes several courses from each of the articulated associate degree programs.
• Students who already have an associate degree in other technical or business-related disciplines, from City Tech or other colleges, can enter the baccalaureate program after taking approximately 22 credits in one of our articulated AAS degrees. These additional courses are an integral part of the degree and an important part of future career skills. Liberal arts and science credits may be transferable, and courses from a student’s previous major can enhance their capabilities and enable them to develop their own niche in facilities management. Consult Professor Robert Polchinski, the program director, to develop a customized list of these additional required courses prior to enrolling in the program or registering for classes.
