As a student in our construction management program, you'll study state-of-the-art construction methods and materials. You'll develop skills in management, budgeting and cost control, cost estimation, scheduling, and engineering fundamentals. In addition, you will enhance your analytical, team-building, and communication skills. Classroom studies are complemented by application based lab work, and the successful completion of two co-op work semesters beginning junior year. This program is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education. (See www.acce-hq.org for information about ACCE accreditation.)

As a graduate you may oversee projects for construction management firms, general and special construction contracting companies, real estate developers, appraisers, financial institutions, or real estate management firms.
