Construction Management
About the Major
Construction
management is a dynamic profession that is a combination of art and science. While an understanding of the technical aspects of construction is extremely
important, it is also essential that construction professionals have
knowledge of the business and management aspects of the profession.While
construction has traditionally been a very conservative industry, the increasing
rate of technological development and competition in the industry serves
to accelerate the development of new construction methods, equipment, materials,
and management techniques. As a result of these forces, there is an increasing
need for innovative and professionally competent construction professionals.
Students in Drexel's Construction Management program receive broad
academic, technical, business, and construction management courses that
are designed to produce well-rounded construction professionals.
Drexel’s undergraduate concentration in real estate seeks to produce professionals who have knowledge and perspective on the issues in the real estate development process, as well as the industry as a whole. Students will explore the knowledge and skill sets required to create and maintain built environments for living, working and entertainment purposes.
