The CSU CM Program

The construction management program at Colorado State University is one of the top ranked programs in the nation. Since its inception in 1946, more than 4,000 students have graduated, many of them going on to become leaders in their field as presidents and CEOs of major construction companies. The program is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education.

The academic program is interdisciplinary, with course requirements in business, engineering and the humanities as well as the applied courses in construction science and construction management. The focus is on the integration of innovative management systems and other technologies into the construction process. These requirements provide a wide scope of educational experiences and create a much broader range of career options for graduates.

Named after 1951 graduate, Joseph Phelps (Phelps Construction), the Phelps Placement Office (PPO) assists students with career services and job placement. During their academic career, Construction Management students have the requirement and opportunity of obtaining an internship (full-time structured work experience), and co-op (part-time or full-time) positions with a variety of construction companies and organizations. The PPO also assists graduating students and alumni with in-house interviews, an annual Career Fair, and the publication of a Graduate Resume Book. Additionally, JOBS OnLine is always a good resource for any sort of position announcement.
