Construction management involves the design, planning and management of the construction, maintenance and disposal of the built environment. This includes buildings, transportation systems, utilities and commercial, industrial, residential and environmental projects. Examples include highways, bridges, airports, buildings, dams, reservoirs, light and high-speed rail systems, hospitals, laboratories, residential communities, utilities and environmental restoration projects.
The construction management minor is designed for CU Denver undergraduates in engineering, architecture, business and other related disciplines who want to grow their skills and expertise in the fields of construction and engineering. The curriculum has been developed with the encouragement and review of a team of industry professionals and allows students to learn skills to facilitate entry into the construction industry.
