Graduate Studies in Construction Management
 
The Master of Construction Management (MCM) program creates an environment where students can radically expand their potential as construction management professionals.  Students integrate their personal industry and educational experience, with traditional and non-traditional academics, and ‘real-world’ scenarios for a comprehensive, authentic learning experience.  A major emphasis is placed on development and application of intuitive, critical analysis skills and contemporary decision-making techniques.  Consequently, graduate studies in Construction Management consider both the science and the artistic dimensions of the field.  The result – graduates who are reframing traditional construction industry paradigms with innovative, viable and practical strategies and tactics.  The MCM degree is awarded upon completion of a part-time, evening 30-unit curriculum.
