Overview

Today California State University Chico’s Construction Management degree is one of the largest CM programs in California and the United States. The construction industry continues to aggressively recruit our graduates and provides financial support to our program.

Statistics indicate that CM graduates are some of the most heavily recruited graduates from the university. The achievements of our alumni within the industry, the many regional and national awards won by our undergraduates, and the impressive performance of CM students during their internships just some of the evidence of this program’s success.

Curriculum

The Bachelor of Science in Construction Management degree curriculum focuses on providing a broad base of knowledge and skills targeted toward the management of construction operations.

Particular emphasis is on project estimating, CPM scheduling, cost control, legal aspects, and construction operations at the project and company level. The CM courses provide students with simulated management experience utilizing actual contract plans and specifications.

The curriculum is focused on providing students with the skill set comparable to the 20 student learning outcomes prescribed by our accrediting body, the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE). To obtain this degree, students complete a 120-unit blend of selected construction management courses plus an appropriate complement of business, law, math, science, and other University general education courses.

Career Outlook

Chico State construction management graduates historically experience an extraordinarily bright career horizon immediately upon graduation. Virtually all CM students are aggressively recruited by both local and nationally based construction companies of all types and sizes. One-third of the largest 50 construction companies in the nation recruit Chico State CM graduates for full-time career-track positions and undergraduates for internships. Most CM students spend an average of two summers on construction internships.
