Bachelor of Science in Construction Management

Orange horizontal rule

Construction Management prepares students to work in an integrated team with a diverse group of owners, architects, engineers, construction craftspersons, and material suppliers. The manager helps to ensure that the owner's goals for cost, schedule, quality, and sustainability are met. Students may enter the Bachelor of Science program as first-year students or as transfer students. Our graduates have excellent placement rates and starting salaries.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management at ESF is distinguished by a strong emphasis on project-based learning, a unique focus on sustainability, a hands-on laboratory environment, and a strong relationship with Syracuse University.

  • Students are engaged each semester in classes, clubs, and competitions that allow them to take on responsibility and deliver projects for the campus and community. Whether building bridges or tiny homes, planning net zero projects for displaced residents or autistic children, CM students are building our future. To read how the CM students won a national prize for their work, and then helped the project be built.
  • ESF is a leader in sustainability, and the Construction Management program is no different. Our CM students take multiple courses on sustainability, and a majority take and pass the LEED Green Associate exam. CM students help to organize and run the NYS Green Building Conference, where they meet and engage with professionals on the cutting edge of the industry. 
  • The green building materials lab, the wood machining lab, and the material testing lab give students the hands-on experience to understand the materials and processes used for construction. 
  • ESF construction managers work alongside Syracuse University architects and engineers on integrated team projects and competitions. ESF Construction Management students taking classes at Syracuse University find themselves working with students from Real Estate, Management, Architecture, and Civil Engineering majors. 

The educational program, leading to the professional Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management, is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education.
