The mission of the Department of Construction Management at ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥
is to develop students for professional construction leadership positions, with a
commitment to ethical and environmental responsibility, as well as prepare interested
students for advanced degree programs.
To accomplish the Department of Construction Management's mission, we use the following
plan:
Our programs are modeled to reflect the organization of the construction industry by offering industry emphasis areas (IEAs) in General Construction – Commercial, Residential Construction, Heavy Civil Construction and Land Development, Specialty Trade Construction/Facilities Management. This structure allows students to study a combination of IEA electives, or to focus on one IEA.
We endeavor to exceed the ACCE Accreditation standards for BS CM and MS CM degree programs to not only stay competitive, but to remain a leader among institutions offering one or more similar degrees.

Through industry outreach and professional development activities of the Construction
Management Department faculty at ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥, we ensure that the quality of instruction and
related technologies stay relevant. These faculty members also keep up on trends and
innovations that continuously reshape the construction industry. All Construction
Management tenure-track faculty members publish in peer-reviewed publications and
participate in regional, national, and international conferences related to construction.
For quality assurance and enhancement, the department, in collaboration with the ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥
CM Industry Advisory Board (CM IAB), undertakes surveys of stakeholders, which include
students, alumni, employers, and CM IAB members. The results of these surveys are
shared periodically with the board and faculty to identify opportunities for improvement
at the course, program, and department levels.
The Department of Construction Management encourages faculty to be well-informed and
conversant with current industry issues. We deliver CM programs at ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ that:
- Serve the changing needs of the construction industry and an increasingly diverse
national and international student population,
- Serve as a positive force in the local and national construction industry through
collaboration with other institutions and participation in professional and community
organizations,
- Advance the body of construction management knowledge through scholarly research,
presentations, and publications,
- Support the strategic and academic direction of ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ and the
College of Architecture and Construction Management
