The Construction Management major was designed with input from contractors and professionals in the construction industry. This ensures that the graduates meet the requirements of this important industry. | |
| The construction management program is conceptually based, it demands students possess a strong understanding of math and science, business, architecture, engineering, liberal arts and construction science, along with the interrelationships between these disciplines. | ||
|
All of these areas of study, coupled with summer work experience in the construction industry, prepare graduates for entry level positions in the construction industry. Graduates can handle marketing, financing, computer applications and decision making, as well as construction operations and procedures in a variety of office and field settings. Students and faculty in the Construction Management program at the University of Northern Iowa are proud of various aspects of our major. Class sizes are small, which provides an atmosphere to become a close knit group and build relationships with peers and faculty. An especially exciting component to the construction management program is the adjunct-professors, they gives us the opportunity to learn from professionals who are active in the industry on a daily basis. The Construction Management curriculum also provides us the opportunity to acquire a minor in Business Concepts or Real Estate with relative ease. |
