Bachelor of Science - Construction Management

A career in construction management is challenging, yet rewarding.  CM’s are able to see the tangible results of their efforts as the construction projects are built.  The construction industry does wonderful things for society through the building of hospitals, schools, roads and bridges; places where people work, live and seek community.  Being a part of this process provides a great feeling of pride and accomplishment.

The faculty are construction professionals who have relevant experience in at least one of the four main construction sectors (residential, commercial, heavy-civil and industrial). Because of this experience, they don’t just teach what they think – they teach what they know! Faculty continue to collaborate with industry experts to fine-tune their course content to align the courses towards relevant experiences that employers desire. Understanding current trends and adapting coursework is a great indicator that the faculty truly care about the success of students in the classroom, but also into their careers.

In addition to a practical focus and caring faculty, students also have the ability obtain an internship during one or more summer breaks.  The experience and knowledge that students gain through coursework, extra-curricular activities and internships make for a highly sought-after employee which is rewarded by some of the highest salaries of any student graduating from WSU.
