The Construction Management Minor program is available for all campus students who want to develop their knowledge and skills to pursue management careers in the construction industry.
Construction Engineering and Management (CEM) is a diverse study field that deals with implementing the design documents of infrastructure and building projects and delivering these facilities with the right quality, within an acceptable budget and schedule, and through safe means of fabrication and installation. Construction engineers use their engineering technical knowledge and problem solving skills to plan and execute safe and efficient construction operations. Construction managers use technical and management principles to develop feasibility studies, construction schedules, budgets, and safety plans to achieve the sustainable life cycle goals of the facility owners.
Admission to the minor requires sophomore status, with a cumulative grade point average of 2.70 or higher. All courses counting toward the minor must be taken on a letter-grade basis and must be completed with an overall grade point average of at least 2.0.
