Preparing you for positions in construction management and construction firms.

Creating this type of physical infrastructure requires professionals who have the technical, management, and leadership skills to coordinate multifaceted projects. This field also seeks professionals who can analyze situations, deal with challenges and time pressures, solve problems, communicate effectively, and conduct business in a fair and ethical manner. The Lewis University Construction Management degree program will provide you with skills and knowledge in project coordination and leadership for top career paths.

Employers increasingly prefer to hire individuals with a degree in construction management, as well as work experience. As construction processes become increasingly complex, employers are placing a growing importance on education that includes technical training as well as a degree program.

Excellent employment opportunities for construction managers are expected because the number of positions will exceed the qualified individuals who are seeking the occupation. Individuals who transfer to other fields or retire will also create a void for having experienced and educated managers and leaders in the field.
