Colorado State University Offers Accelerated Program In Construction Management
Friday, April 3, 1998
FORT COLLINS--Colorado State University is offering a new
program to construction industry professionals and to those
making career changes into the construction industry.
The intensive summer program is designed to provide the
skills necessary for professional and educational advancement in
construction management. The program consists of four, two-week
modules in the following four topic areas: construction materials
and methods; construction engineering; mechanical and electrical
systems; and estimating, scheduling and project management.
The program quickly fulfills prerequisite requirements for
those who are enrolled in a construction management graduate
program but need to complete prerequisite undergraduate courses.
"Prerequisite course work for a graduate student without a
construction related undergraduate degree typically adds a year
to the program," said John Murphy, assistant professor in
manufacturing technology and construction management at Colorado
State. "Through this program, people can fulfill these
requirements in only two to eight weeks of summer instruction."
The modules also were developed to help those working in the
construction industry or a related profession increase their
knowledge and competency.
"This program will benefit professionals in the construction
industry and related industries who would like the opportunity to
move forward in their careers," said Murphy. "Many people find
themselves topping out because of lack of credentials or
knowledge. These courses are an excellent investment for
companies to make in their employees or for individuals to make
in themselves."
The program also will benefit those seeking professional
certification status. The course material can help prepare
students or professionals for the Professional Constructor exam.
Professionals who needto maintain their professional
certification also may use the modules to obtain continuing
education units.
