The new, 15-unit certificate program provides an intensive study of critical issues in construction management.</p>
<p>The courses will provide a thorough background in construction operations; cost and time management; legal aspects; construction finance and accounting; and quality.</p>
<p>\"The program is designed for individuals who need to develop management and leadership expertise to augment their business or technical capabilities or those who require a stronger, more comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of construction management,\" says Steve W. Bannes, Director of Graduate Studies in Construction Management.</p>
<p>Designed for construction industry stakeholders who may require a more comprehensive and robust understanding of construction management, Bannes believes the program\'s candidates will come from a variety of careers including consulting engineers, architects, accountants, and attorneys.</p>
<p>Students must complete five of the six courses:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fundamentals of Construction Management3 Construction Cost Engineering3 <br /></li>
<li>Construction Project Planning &amp; Scheduling</li>
<li>Legal Aspects of Construction</li>
<li>Finance &amp; Accounting</li>
<li>Quality Processes in Construction Mgmt</li>
</ul>
<p>Legal and financing/accounting may be waived with appropriate prior course work. If a student is able to waive one of these courses, he or she will enroll in Quality Procceses.</p>
<p>Courses are offered in the part-time, evening format.All of the courses exist and have been taught for years as part of the Masters of Construction Management (MCM) degree program.Students wishing to pursue the MCM degree will be encouraged to do so as all courses will apply to the degree.</p>
<p>\"As the construction industry continues to evolve, professionals with technical and management skills will be the leaders addressing the challenges and opportunities within the industry. I believe this new graduate certificate program in construction management builds on the strengths of our current program and will provide an additional service to the architecture, engineering, and construction community by preparing the next generation of construction industry leaders,\" said Ralph S. Quatrano, PhD, dean of the School of Engineering &amp; Applied Science</p>
<p>The new Graduate Certificate in Construction Management joins the 30-unit Master of Construction Management Degree, and the Master of Construction Management/Master of Architecture dual degree program offered through the Sever Institute in the School of Engineering &amp; Applied Science at Washington University in St. Louis.</p>
