Program Description
As the largest single industry in the United States and one of the most important, construction offers unlimited opportunities to highly motivated and professionally educated men and women. Future professionals must be skilled in managing people, equipment, and capital, in addition to having a thorough knowledge of construction materials and methods and the complex technologies of modern construction. The Bachelor of Science in Construction Science and Management curriculum is the basis for a career in construction or as a developer or building management specialist.
Change of academic program requests are considered in December after fall grades are posted and in May after spring grades are posted. To receive consideration for a change of academic program, students must complete an application form and have their names placed on the waiting list by December 1 for December consideration and May 1 for May consideration.
