Construction Management
Option to Liberal Arts and Sciences, (AS.CON)
Construction management is a dynamic profession – a
combination of technology, art and science. While an
understanding of the technical aspects of construction is
extremely important, it is also essential that construction
professionals have a comprehensive knowledge of the
business and management aspects of the profession.
And though construction has traditionally been a very
conservative industry, the increasing rate of technological
development and competition in the industry have served
to accelerate the development of new construction methods,
equipment, materials, and management techniques. As a
result of these forces, there is an increasing need for innovative
and professionally competent construction professionals.
Students enrolled in the Construction Management program
receive broad academic, technical, business, and construction
management courses that are designed to produce wellrounded
construction professionals.
Graduates of this program should be able to:
Demonstrate an understanding of management
and supervision principles;
Apply construction law and knowledge of contracts
to construction projects;
Interpret construction documents and drawings;
Conduct research as a foundation for construction
methods and materials;
Evaluate construction projects for conformity with
construction documents;
Communicate effectively with a wide variety of
stakeholders;
Use technology to support management projects.
Options after graduation
Career Opportunities: Graduates of the Construction
Management program have secured entry level positions
as assistant project managers, estimators, schedulers,
and field superintendents for general contractors,
subcontractors, and construction managers. Some
are employed as owner-representatives working for
architectural firms, consulting engineering firms,
commercial companies, and institutions that have
needs for building or other construction projects.
Drexel at BCC: Graduates of the program can make a
smooth transition to the Drexel University Construction
Management B.S. degree program offered at BCC on a
