After not being able to hold in-person studio last summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mississippi State University Building Construction Science Program first-year summer studio is back and hard at work.
Classes began June 2 with Professors Lee Carson and Richard Chenoweth and Shop Technician Charles Beckwith.
Students have been working on a design-build project – a modular building with three primary modules.
The Bachelor of Applied Science degree offers students who have earned an Associate of Applied Science degree the opportunity to apply technical education credits earned from a community college or the military to a bachelor’s degree.
The emphasis area, such as trades supervision, totals 30 credit hours at the upper-division level.
