Construction Management (Pre-professional Program) (31 Credits)
Construction management is a four-year program structured into one year of preconstruction management and three years of construction education.
The degree of Bachelor of Science in Construction Management is for those students who wish to work in the profession of construction management or in a management capacity in other facets of the construction industry.
