Degree description
Construction Management and Technology degree description
In the Bachelor of Science program in construction management and technology, you specialize in construction and facility management. You learn to organize, lead and manage the building construction business processes related to real estate, facility and infrastructure projects.
Construction management is the most vital function on a job site. 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 construction projects in the built environment.
This program focuses on the business of construction and technology, such as building information modeling.
You learn the basics of design; the construction methods specific to each type of construction (heavy, residential, commercial, specialty); and the process of sustainable or green construction. You learn how to estimate, schedule and control the costs of a project and what it takes to manage the people involved and the various types of contracts. At the end of the program, you have the computer, management, technical and people skills you need to succeed.
This is one of two construction programs in the state of Arizona and one of approximately 80 accredited programs in the nation.
