What You’ll Learn

Vermont State’s bachelor’s in construction management program provides a comprehensive education that will thoroughly prepare you for management positions. 

You’ll study materials and building systems for residential and commercial structures, build practical skills in areas like surveying, drawing, and computer-aided design, and master the intricacies of project management from initial estimates and proposals through completing the work safely, on time, and on budget. Coursework in accounting, marketing, human resources, and other core business areas will equip you to take an active role in promoting broader business goals or starting your own enterprise. 

The program is practically focused, giving you an abundance of hands-on experience in various aspects of the job through classes like Concrete & Steel Lab, mentored internships, and projects that require you to prepare detailed proposals for large and complex projects. 

Outside the Classroom, In the Community

At Vermont State, you’ll gain practical experience with several real-world opportunities to develop the skills you learn in the program. One or more summer internships give you in-depth exposure to the various aspects of project management. In your final year, you will join with fellow students in preparing and presenting a comprehensive project proposal for the regional Associated Schools of Construction Competition.
