Construction Work Experience
A minimum of 800 hours of post high school construction work experience is required for graduation with a baccalaureate degree. Summer construction jobs, BCM internships, or BCM Co-op programs may be used to satisfy this requirement. To document your work hours, go to the BCM website and look for Work Experience Folder. That will bring up a Word file with directions for you to follow. Concentrations require 400 hours of work experience within the concentration.
Progression Policy
Students must meet the following requirements to progress in the BCM major. Failure to meet these standards will require the student to CODO out of the BCM Department. BCM majors must earn a grade of “C-” or better in all BCM courses and all courses that are a prerequisite to a BCM course. The “C-” grade must be earned before enrolling in subsequent courses. BCM courses can be repeated only once.
Appeal
Students that are not allowed to continue with BCM courses due to the Progression Policy may make a written appeal to the Department Head of Building Construction Management if they believe there are extenuating circumstances that caused them to be dropped from the department.
Departmental Policy
It is the responsibility of each student to assure that he or she fulfills the necessary pre-requisites and courses to meet graduation requirements. Questions may be directed to a BCM advisor.
Concentrations
Students desiring to have a concentration designated on their transcripts should consult with the appropriate concentration coordinator. Students may be limited to one concentration depending on space availability. BCM Concentrations are:
