About the Program
Purdue University Polytechnic Institute’s Construction Management (CM) graduate program applies management principles and innovative technologies to help students effectively lead, organize, and manage the construction projects of residential, commercial, and infrastructure facilities. Through CM, buildings and infrastructure facilities can be constructed in a controlled systematic manner to maximize construction efficiency and assure highest quality. With an advanced degree, students will be equipped with essential knowledge and educational experience to make significant contributions in the field of construction. The Master of Science program in the School of Construction Management Technology is designed to prepare qualified individuals for leadership positions in the construction industry. This program is for individuals with a bachelor’s degree in construction management, civil engineering, or a closely related field from an accredited university. Master’s students can pursue a thesis or non-thesis option. See below for each set of requirements. Program Website Program Requirements - Thesis & Non-thesis
