Students seeking to build their future in the growing professions of construction management, architectural and engineering services, and construction contracting learn the managerial and technical knowledge and skills with Mesa State's Bachelor of Science in Construction Management. This unique program incorporates courses in construction technology, business administration, and construction management. It provides graduates with practical experience in construction as well as advanced skills in mathematics, technical instruction, physical science, computers, and software programming. The end result: a well-rounded manager able to coordinate and supervise the construction process from conceptual development through final construction.
Construction managers plan, direct, and coordinate a wide variety of construction projects, including the building of all types of residential, commercial and industrial structures, roads, and bridges. They are salaried or self-employed managers who oversee construction supervisors and workers. Construction managers coordinate and supervise the construction process from the conceptual development stage through final construction, insuring the project is completed on time and within budget. They are also responsible for the safety of the work environment. Graduates of the Construction Management Program will possess an OSHA 10-hour safety card upon graduation.
Potential majors must be comfortable with mathematics, technical instruction, physical science, computers, and software programs. They should work well under pressure and have good oral and written communication skills. At the end of the day, however, they are managers of processes and people and must excel in both technical and human interaction skills.
