Construction Science Major (CONS), BS

Return to: Programs of Study

The Construction Science degree prepares students to be professional constructors and managers within the industry of the built environment. The curriculum is designed to produce professional personnel equipped to manage and mitigate the growing challenges in all aspects of construction. The degree consists of a compilation of engineering science and project management coursework that will prepare the student for professional careers in residential, commercial, and heavy construction.

The program prepares graduates to execute the designs created by engineers and architects. Students share the same classroom with engineering and architecture students preparing for their professional careers. This setting and approach equips the construction science students with an in-depth understanding of construction design, specifications, and expectations that govern the projects the student will be executing after graduation.

The program affords students a level of construction science education that would require multiple years of industry experience to develop. This provides students the opportunity to be highly marketable for the many open positions within the construction industry, as well as opportunities to rapidly advance within their construction organizations.
