Carpentry - Certificate and A.A.S. Degree
The mission of theCarpentry Program is to provide theregional workforce with credentialed, skilled and competentcarpenters and to be responsive to emerging workforce needs.
The Carpentry program provides students the opportunity to learn carpentry skills in a competency-based learning environment.Students work hand-in-hand with professional carpentersboth 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 also 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.Students construct real-world projects andcan earn a Certificate of Applied Science or an Associate of Applied Science degree from the University of Montana. The program often has a waiting list. Prospective students are encouraged to apply one year prior to anticipated school attendance.
