The graduate program offers advanced instruction in planning and scheduling, construction management, cost control, high rise construction, materials, techniques and structural concepts.
Course Requirements. The minimum course work required for a master’s degree with thesis is 30 credits including up to six credits of the research course numbered 6971. All students seeking a master’s degree with thesis must register for an appropriate number of credits in 6971. At least half the required credits, exclusive of 6971, must be in a field of study designated the major. One or two minors of at least six credits each may be taken, but a minor is not required by the Graduate School. Minor work must be in an academic unit other than the major.
Concentrations. A concentration can be pursued in Sustainability. The Sustainable Construction Concentration (SCN) has the goal of helping the student connect the activities of planning, designing, building, operating and demolishing the built environment to their impacts on the environment and natural systems function. The resulting degree awarded upon successful completion of the program is a Master of Science in Building Construction (thesis) with a concentration in Sustainable Construction.
