Program Structure

The Bachelor of Science in Construction Management is a four-year program structured into one year of pre-professional coursework and three years of major (professional) coursework. Professional program courses begin in second year fall. Due to the sequential nature of courses, there are no spring admits.

Transfer Students

A limited number of transfer students are considered each year. To be considered, transfer students must have completed all pre-professional courses (or approved equivalents) and apply for admission to the major. Emphasis is given to cumulative GPA. The Transfer Course Search tool assists with planning the transfer of courses to WSU.

Admission Criteria

Students not meeting the admission to major criteria above will be considered (on a conditional basis) until enrollment limits are reached. Average enrollment limit into the second year of the construction management program is 50 students. Completion of all pre-professional coursework does not guarantee acceptance into the professional program.
