Master of Science in Construction Project Management

Program Overview

Construction project management requires highly skilled individuals who can lead and integrate multidisciplinary teams of professionals. That could be you.

This challenging, industry-focused master's course supports you in developing both the academic and technical knowledge you'll need to be a construction project manager and the management and interpersonal skills essential for success in this career.
