This certificate program provides practical training leading to the application of principles and practices in the commercial Construction Management field. This program emphasizes not only the interpretation and understanding of commercial project documents (working drawings, specifications, soils reports, contracts, etc.) but also in the preparation of estimates and construction schedules. Providing an educational foundation in the Construction Management field, graduates have the knowledge to begin assisting or managing the construction process, from initial planning to project completion. The use of case studies and related industry scenarios throughout the program prepares students for a full range of situations that emerge during the course of a construction project.
