To be eligible for admission to the M.B.C. or M.S.B.C. programs, a student must hold a 4-year undergraduate degree in building construction or its equivalent in related fields. “Equivalent in related fields” should include studies in construction materials and methods, structures, and management. Students with deficiencies in these related fields may need longer residence for the master’s degree, as they will be required to take specified basic courses to provide a foundation for advanced courses. There is no foreign language requirement.
