Preparing graduates for entry into the very broad and diverse range of careers related to construction.
The construction science and management program (formerly known as: construction science and agricultural systems) is a bachelor of science degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The program is housed within the Department of Biosystems Engineering and Soil Science at the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture. This degree is designed to prepare students for entry into the very broad and diverse range of management careers related to the modern construction industry. Students in a program of this type typically enjoy the outdoors, utilizing multiple technologies, and the sense of accomplishment of seeing a project grow from an idea to a finished product. A successful construction science and management graduate exhibits skills in leadership, teamwork, communication, technical abilities, and professional/environmental responsibility.
The construction science and management degree brings together components of engineering, architecture, business, and technology to produce project managers, estimators, superintendents, and construction entrepreneurs. The degree provides a strong background in math and science along with relevant construction technologies and techniques. On-the-job training is provided through internships and/or cooperative work experiences with opportunities to apply classroom skills to actual construction operations. The business and management related coursework can lead to a minor in business administration.
