Bachelor of Science in Construction Management

Construction management is a combination of engineering technology, construction techniques, and management to meet the needs of the rapidly growing construction industry. Construction managers oversee the entire construction process, coordinating contractors, setting timetables, and monitoring costs.

The Construction Management program at the University of New Mexico prepares students to use machines, materials, money and people efficiently to achieve maximum profit and complete construction projects on time to the satisfaction of the owner. A meld of engineering, construction, management, and business gives the student a background and understanding of management’s point of view in the construction industry. Students have the opportunity to work on real-life projects with mentors, such as planning and designing the construction of facilities ranging from a wastewater treatment lagoon to an 80-foot pedestrian bridge.

A program with a general focuses on the general application of various combinations of mathematical and scientific principles to the analysis and evaluation of engineering problems, including applied research in human behavior, statistics, biology, chemistry, the earth and planetary sciences, atmospherics and meteorology, and computer applications.
