Construction Management
The BT program in construction management allows students to specialize in commercial, heavy, residential, and specialty construction and facility management. Students learn to organize, lead, and manage the business processes of building construction related to real-estate, facility, and infrastructure projects, all founded in Christian values.
Construction managers represent the interests of the building owner or the contractor and interact with architects, engineers, subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers to ensure the success of the construction projects in the built environment. This program focuses on the business of construction and technology, such as building information modeling.
During your first year, you'll help construct a real home. You'll be involved with
the foundation, framing, wiring, plumbing, and more. By your second year, you'll be
combining this practical experience with business and management coursework.
Once you've completed your bachelor's or associate degree, you'll be ready to sit
for the following licensure tests:
- General contractor
- Electrical contractor
- Plumbing contractor

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, construction jobs are expected to grow 4 percent between 2019 and 2029.
