A construction management degree tailored to your interests

 

The online construction management degree allows you to focus on topics that matter to you and support your career interests. You can choose from two focus areas:

  • Construction management and technology.
  • Facility management.

If you want to enhance your competency in project, program and organization management, the construction management and technology focus area is the best choice for you. However, the facility management focus may be ideal if your career goals relate to the maintenance, operation, renovation or decommissioning of existing facilities. No matter which focus area you pursue, you’ll be a step closer to achieving your career goals.

What degree do you need to be a construction manager?

 

While construction managers aren’t always required to have a degree, increased specialized skills and hands-on experience can give you a competitive edge when applying for jobs or bidding for contracts. Increasingly, construction managers hold degrees in construction science, architecture or engineering. The knowledge you gain from pursuing an online construction management degree can propel your career to lucrative positions, such as project manager, estimator, planner, scheduler, project engineer and more.

You may also consider pursuing this master’s in construction management and technology as a stepping stone to enter the construction field at a leadership level. Many of our most successful construction management alumni have undergraduate degrees in another field and leverage their online construction management degree to transition into the field.

Will my master’s in construction management and technology say 'online'?

No, Arizona State University’s diplomas don’t specify whether you earn your degree online or in person. All diplomas and transcripts simply say “Arizona State University.” That’s because ASU Online students learn from the same faculty and receive the same course content as in-person students receive.
