Department (Interim) Chairperson:  Lewis Waller

 

The Bachelor of Science in Construction Management (CMGT) program develops students who understand the complexity of construction projects, appreciate the values of sustainable principles and their applications, and are able to manage people in the field site. The CMGT curriculum is guided by the accreditation standards and criteria of the American Council for Construction Education.
 

Mission


The mission of the CMGT program is to educate students on basic construction management principles and practices, as well as their application to sustainable construction projects. With emphasis on green building technologies, materials and processes, the students will be well prepared to handle projects that require an integrated approach to environmental stewardship. The curriculum is challenging and extremely rewarding with emphasis on technical (i.e., architectural and engineering) content areas. Students will receive a solid base in the management basics required of the construction industry.

At the end of the program of study, students will have a foundation of skills and knowledge in construction science, particularly in the areas of design and construction systems, construction graphics, construction surveying, methods and materials, estimating, planning, and scheduling, construction accounting and finance, project management, and safety procedures and practices.

 

Policies


Change of Major
Students considering changing their major to Construction Management must have a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA. Students with less than 2.0 may be considered upon review of the student’s academic plan developed with the School’s Retention Coordinator.
