Associate in Applied Science, Facilities Management

at Community College of Philadelphia

The Facilities Management program leads to an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Facilities Management. Facilities Managers are the people who plan and manage the buildings, grounds and systems of large businesses and institutions. Often working behind the scenes, as a group they are involved in a broad array of activities: planning, management, finance and real estate, design, and building operations issues, including security and communications. The field is rapidly professionalizing, and opportunities abound in this highly-regarded industry. The core of the Facilities Management curriculum addresses gaining the basic technical knowledge of construction materials, processes and systems, as well as the business management and real estate areas.
