Build Your Career with a Construction Management Degree
The Sordoni Bachelor of Science in Construction Management (BSCM) enables students to become certified construction managers.
Focused on acquiring the skills needed to manage the construction of the built environment, our degree in Construction Management trains students in construction knowledge, business practices, advanced building technologies, and environmental science.
Its close collaboration with our Architecture and Business programs allows students to expand their knowledge beyond the boundaries of the traditional Construction Management curriculum, enabling them to customize their studies based on their interests and inclinations.
Construction Management students benefit from an integrative curriculum that requires:
- Eight semesters of construction management and building technology courses, steadily growing in complexity from surveying to cost estimating to a comprehensive capstone project;
- Lab activities such as site surveying, and practical applications of building technologies;
- Business courses, including accounting, business management, economics, and law;
- Courses in basic and organizational communications;
- Program electives from an extensive list of business, communications, or environmental science courses.
A certified degree in Construction Management can lead to a wide variety of highly rewarding careers. From construction management firms, general contracting companies, real estate developers, appraisers, financial institutions, and real estate management firms to architecture offices, government agencies, engineering firms, industrial companies, and material suppliers.
The construction management degree is an Applicant Program for accreditation by the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE). To become a Certified Construction Manager (CCM), the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) requires a combination of an accredited degree in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC), Responsible in Charge (RIC) experience hours, and certification exams administered by the Construction Manager Certification Institute (CMCI).
The four-year BSCM program is intended for students who will pursue a career as a certified construction manager or advanced study in other fields related to architecture and the built environment. To this end, Marywood students who have earned a Construction Management degree are eligible for 25 credits of advanced standing in the Master of Interior Architecture program.
Marywood has truly changed my life.
I came in with little direction and little confidence and by getting involved with the Office of Student Engagement and the Cross Country and Track and Field teams, I was really able to find my purpose and grow into an extremely confident and capable individual. Marywood allowed me to do everything I wanted to do, from Student Government Association to Chamber Singers to even serving as Summer Orientation Co-Chair, and I couldn’t be more grateful!
