In addition to course delivery in a hybrid distance mode, flexibility is built into the program to provide an optimum educational experience for working students.
Practicing professionals or students seeking to enhance their marketability for upper level management positions in various construction related industries may be initially interested in the 12-hour certificate in Construction Engineering and Management. Successful completion of four certificate courses with grades of “B” or better will qualify the student for further studies leading to the Master of Science (MS) degree in Construction Engineering and Management.
