Program Overview

Program Information

The Construction Management program at Boise State University provides students with a comprehensive education in the field of construction management.

Mathematics Requirements

To determine the appropriate level of mathematics course to register for, students can use their Math ACT or SAT scores in conjunction with the following information:

• Students who score between 18 and 22 on the ACT, or between 430 and 530 on the SAT, should sign up for Math 108 (Intermediate Algebra).
• Students who score between 23 and 26 on the ACT, or between 540 and 619 on the SAT, should sign up for Math 143 (Advanced Algebra).
• Math 143 is a 3-credit course, and Math 144 is a 2-credit course. Students need to take either Math 143 and 144 over two semesters or take both Math 143 and 144 in one semester.
• Students who score between 27 and 28 on the ACT, or between 620 and 649 on the SAT, should sign up for Math 144 (Trigonometry).
• Students who score 29 or higher on the ACT, or 650 or higher on the SAT, should sign up for Math 160 or 170 (Calculus I).
• Students who receive an AP placement score of 3, 4, or 5 on the Calculus AB Advanced Placement exam have completed their math requirements in Construction Management.

Accuplacer Examination

If students feel that their ACT or SAT exam score does not accurately reflect their ability in math, or if they did not recently take the ACT or SAT, they can take the Accuplacer placement examination to determine the appropriate mathematics course.

• The highest placement score is used (whether SAT, ACT, or Accuplacer).
• The preparatory mathematics course sequence in engineering, beginning from the lowest and moving up to the highest, is as follows: Math 25, Math 108, Math 143, 144, Math 170.
• Accuplacer Exam results may suggest other math courses that students are qualified to take, but they should restrict themselves to the ones on the list, taking the one that they qualify to take as a result of the Accuplacer exam.
• A score lower than 244 on the QAS portion of the Math Accuplacer exam indicates that the student should take MATH 025.
• A 244 or higher on the QAS portion of the Math Accuplacer is needed to enter MATH 108.
• A 256 or higher on the QAS portion of the Math Accuplacer is needed to enter MATH 143.
• A 254 or higher on the AAF portion of the Math Accuplacer is needed to enter MATH 144.
• A 268 or higher on the AAF portion of the Math Accuplacer is needed to enter MATH 170.

English Requirements

The Write Class is an interactive online program designed for incoming students who need to take English 101, 101+, and/or 102.

• The program assists students in deciding which first-year writing course is the best fit for them during their first semester.
• A score of 3 or 4 on the AP English Composition exam qualifies students to take ENGL 102.
• A score of 5 on the AP English Composition exam means students do not need to take either of the freshman English courses (ENGL 101 or ENGL 102).
