Bachelor of Science
Major in Construction Science and Management (127 hours)
The above 30 Pre-Construction Curricula courses must be completed before a student can enroll in the following Construction Courses:
TECH 2160 - Introduction to Construction Surveying
TECH 3360 - Structural Analysis (TECH 2351 prerequisite)
TECH 3361 - Commercial Building Construction Systems
TECH 3363 - Heavy, Civil, and Highway Construction Systems
TECH 3366 - Soils and Foundations (TECH 2351 prerequisite)
