Introduction
BS in Building Sciences - Construction Management
Appalachian State University's Bachelor of Science degree in Building Sciences with a concentration in Construction Management develops students' skills in both the management and technological aspects of the construction industry, so they can become leaders in construction and construction-related industries.
According to Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts, 78,000 new construction manager positions will be filled by 2022. Construction management ranks 15th among STEM careers and 37th among the 100 best job opportunities, according to a recent U.S. News & World Report study.
Being a construction manager requires significant coordination and planning, and the ability to think critically and synthetically. As a student, you will take courses in building systems, materials and methods of construction, planning and scheduling, cost estimating, statics and strength of structures, surveying, project management, building codes, and occupational safety, and also study sustainable architectural design in studio course environments. The program's interdisciplinary approach to design and construction gives students the best possible exposure to the various tools needed to become a leader in the construction industry.
