PROGRAMS

We have two management degree programs and a minor. The undergraduate degree is a four-year Bachelor of Science in Construction. The graduate degree is a Master of Science in Construction. The minor consists of a cross-section of CNST courses for NON-Majors. Courses are offered in the day and evening in the undergraduate program and in the evening and on weekends in the graduate program. We also provide three areas of specialization; Construction Management, Land Development, and MEP.

Our students are highly motivated non-traditional (translated "older") students with a wealth of experience. Most work at least part-time while they are in school. Most are from the Atlanta area but we have Asian/Pacific, Latin American, African, European, and Caribbean representation.
