Construction Engineering and Management
- The total annual value of construction in the United States is approximately $900 billion (8% of the US Gross National Product), making the construction industry one of the most important industrial sectors of the US economy.
- Construction Management is a set of complex, professional activities which require a special knowledge of the technical, economic and policy environment, and encompass elements of construction technology, real estate development, building science, law, architecture, urban and regional planning, public policy, and project management.
- Our Program, which is one of the largest construction management programs, prepare students from 16 different countries to enter the world of globalization.
- A degree that offers the student a myriad of opportunities and exposure in the construction industry.
- Graduates enter into areas of construction management, engineering development and planning, consulting, and the pursuit of higher degree.
- Graduates have a variety of employment opportunities, including working for general contractors, real estate developers, sub contractors, construction management firms and architectural engineering firms.
- Graduates also have the opportunity to seek employment with prominent global architectural, engineering, and construction firms. Parsons, Fluor Daniel, and Jacob's Engineering, are all headquartered in Los Angeles.
Prerequisites:
- Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
- Students with a degree in Mathematics or Physics are required to take additional engineering courses.
- Satisfactory GPA and GRE/GMAT scores.
- Satisfactory TOEFL scores for international students.
