Construction Management Technology Major, Bachelor of Science (BS)
The Construction Management Technology degree focuses on selected areas of technology, physics, construction materials and techniques, emphasizing courses such as construction estimating, soils and surveying, building codes, and architecture. This concentration prepares graduates to enter and progress in supervisory or management positions in the construction industry. Initial employment may be as an estimator, laboratory technician in materials testing, construction inspector, or field engineer.
Note: including university requirements, the program requires a minimum of 180 credits, an average of 15 credits per quarter for a 12 quarter, four-year program. The 180 credits are based upon the following assumptions:
- Students will have satisfied university proficiencies. If this assumption is not true, then the student will have to complete up to six more courses. (Review Undergraduate Degree Requirements).
Grade Requirements: In order to graduate, students majoring in the department must earn an average GPA ≥2.5 in all courses required for this major (all courses in the list below).
