Construction Management Program (120 Credits)
Construction Management (CM) is a four-year program structured into one year of pre-professional coursework and three years of major (professional) coursework. Professional program courses begin in second year fall. Due to the sequential nature of courses there are no spring admits.
To be considered for admission into the CM program, a student must have completed at least 31 semester hours of pre-professional coursework including the following courses (or their approved equivalents): CST M 102, Communication [COMM], ECONS 101 and 102 [SSCI], ENGLISH 101 [WRTG], SOE 101 [PSCI], HISTORY 105 [ROOT], Humanities [HUM] or Diversity [DIVR], MATH 171 [QUAN], and SDC 100 [ARTS], each with a grade of C or better and an overall GPA of 3.3 or higher.
Students not meeting the admission to major criteria above will be considered until enrollment limits are reached. Average enrollment limit into the second year of the construction management major is 50 students. Completion of all pre-professional coursework does not guarantee acceptance into the professional program. Students are encouraged to work with SDC advisors to identify an alternate major should they not be admitted to their primary choice of major.
Transfer Students
A limited number of transfer students are considered each year. Requirements include completion of the pre-professional courses (or approved equivalents). Emphasis is given to cumulative GPA.

The plan below is a suggested path to completion of the construction management degree. Students will meet with an advisor each semester to confirm academic schedule and monitor progress towards
