Advising Notes

Courses in mathematics, the physical sciences, or construction taken CR/NC are not counted toward fulfillment of degree requirements in construction.
Since the construction major curriculum is very demanding, many students, especially those not fully prepared in mathematics, chemistry, and/or physics take 4 1/2 or more years to graduate rather than the traditional 4 years. If necessary, students may go to the Learning Resource Center in the Keats Building and request tutorial assistance.
The upper-division writing skills requirement can be met by passing the university examination or by completing I E 182W with a letter grade of C or higher no sooner than the term in which 60 units of coursework are completed.
Other construction specialties may be developed under department advisement.
The Management Specialty Program is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education.

Construction Management Minor

Students from interrelated disciplines will acquire professional and specialized construction knowledge and skills. Preparation for participation in the building-related professions leads to careers in solving the infrastructure needs of society and the environment.

Required Core courses (15 units)
CONST 5, 10, 42, 50, 120

Additional elective courses (6 units)
The student will select two additional construction courses in consultation with a faculty adviser. Emphasis may be placed upon a variety of specialization areas.
