Construction Science and Management
Experiences in Construction Science and Management

The bachelor of science major in construction science and management combines foundational courses in the construction sciences with an 18-hour business administration minor. Coursework develops skill in advanced project management principles and practices, critical thinking and creativity, and complex problem solving and decision making in construction projects. A highly successful internship connecting students to industry job sites is required for the program, where students develop professional awareness and expertise. Senior design or “capstone” activities incorporate appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints and is based on knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work. Membership in student organizations, research initiatives and opportunities to apply for nationally recognized service activities contribute to their experience.
