BS in Construction Management/BA in Architectural Design

The Architecture and Construction Management Dual Degree program is designed for students who want education in both the design and construction disciplines. By pursing the degrees simultaneously, students are able to obtain a BS in Construction Management degree and a BA in Architectural Design with just three additional quarters of study. The Dual Degree degree is valuable for graduates who are seeking positions at government agencies, consulting firms, general contractors or homebuilders that require an understanding of architectural design and problem solving, or at architectural, design, or planning firms that need expertise in project planning and management, scheduling, cost estimating and materials. Students begin as Architectural Design majors and then apply to the Construction Management Department in the spring of their junior year. Students spend their third year as Architectural Design majors, and then begin their Construction Management curriculum in their fourth year.
