Construction Science & Management Degree
The four-year degree in Construction Science and Management is offered through the Herbert College of Agriculture. Construction Science is a blended program of science, engineering, business, architecture and technology that provides a strong, broad background in construction management. The plan of study encompasses the numerous components inherent to a successful construction manager. This concentration has provisions for elective courses to be taken in the specified subject areas. Students should consult with their advisors each semester about their interests and the appropriate classes to meet the students’ needs. Internships will not be counted as course credit but are highly recommended and serve as a major component to a successful construction career.

The Construction Science Program was founded in 2010. Given the youth of the Construction Science Program it is currently in the preliminary stages of the construction specific accreditation process. Once the pre-qualifying period is complete the program will be seeking accreditation through the American Counsel for Construction Education (ACCE).
