"One of the biggest strengths of the construction management program is having professors with years of industry experience. The CM professors are able to connect the classroom information with real-life applications they’ve experienced in the past. Another strength of the program is the hands-on learning opportunities. Whether it’s surveying, site walks or swinging a hammer in the lab, they make learning so much easier."
