Construction Management, B.S.


With an online bachelors degree in construction management, you’ll bring a unique skill set and understanding to your role in the construction industry. You’ll graduate prepared to manage a variety of construction projects, from the field or home office. At the same time, your enhanced IT skills in cybersecurity make you uniquely qualified to handle the nation’s critical infrastructure. Protecting physical buildings, industrial plants, transportation - as well as the computer networks that remotely operate these facilities - is crucial to our society and the way we live. Finally, you’ll complete an unmanned systems course. You can also add a minor in unmanned systems, which makes you able to obtain your FAA Part 107 license to operate commercial uses of drones weighing less than 55 pounds.
