BS in Technology Management - Concentration in Construction Management
Students in the Technology Management degree program will become technically oriented management professionals who plan, direct, organize, and control operations in a wide variety of industrial, business, and service organizations. In that program, students concentrate in one of the areas listed below.
Construction Management Concentration
This concentration is designed to prepare graduates for advancement opportunities in construction-related industries primarily as superintendents, project managers, estimators, construction managers, or project executives. Students in this concentration take courses that emphasize theories and applications of construction contract administration, including: planning, managing, directing, organizing, and controlling construction operations. This concentration is also available to nontraditional and transfer students with enough related technical experience or coursework to satisfy the technical competency requirements of the concentration. To satisfy the technical competency requirements, nontraditional students may complete a portfolio demonstrating the completion of college-level work and specialized training that can be fully documented and qualifies for transfer credit into USM by means of a portfolio assessment.
Transfer students may satisfy the technical competency requirements, through the completion of a construction-related associate's degree program from a regionally accredited community college or simply transfer into the 4 year course of study. (2+2 articulation agreements are currently in place with Central and Southern Maine Community Colleges). See the Requirements, below.
All students must meet University Core curriculum requirements and additional Departmental requirements. Specific requirements for bachelor of science degree programs offered through the Department of Technology are indicated in the following tables. A minimum of 15 credit hours or 5 courses must be taken in the Department.
Students in the technology management degree program will be required to complete a senior assessment as part of the graduation requirement.
