Construction Management is an interdisciplinary curriculum that provides students a background in construction management, administration, and technology; architectural and engineering principles; business; and applied science and mathematics. The goal of the sequence is to prepare construction professionals capable of managing projects to completion of a project from plans prepared by design professionals. Coursework emphasizes the allocation and coordination of labor, equipment, and material in order to achieve completion of projects safely and at maximum efficiency of time and cost. The program focus is on production rather than design, and management capabilities rather than craft skills.

The Construction Management major is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE).

Constructors need to efficiently and safely manage their labor, materials, and equipment resources. These requirements demand a highly educated construction professional who is able to manage the complexities of modern building construction.
