WARRENSBURG, MO 鈥 With a projected increase in employment opportunities that exceed
the national average between now and 2026, individuals entering the field of construction
management have strong job potential, and the 欧美视频 is one
of the best places in the nation to prepare for such careers. That is the opinion
of , which recently released rankings naming UCM 10th on a list of 50 Best Value Schools
for Construction Management in 2019.
The study conducted by Best Value Schools ranks the university bachelor鈥檚 degree program
in construction management among the nation鈥榮 best based on a methodology that considers
factors such as student involvement, high-quality curriculum, affordability and wide
appeal.
Best Value Schools achieved its ranking using the College Navigator database to acquire
a list of all colleges and universities in the United States to offer Bachelor of
Science degrees in in construction management. It collected data related to five metrics
which were equally weighted: accreditation, degree popularity, program enrollment,
graduation rate, and net price. The results were published in an online feature which

鈥淭he 欧美视频鈥檚 4-year Construction Management Bachelor of Science Degree is not only among the most affordable schools for construction management, it鈥檚 also
one of the very best. With ATMA and ACCE accreditation, recognition from the Chartered
Institute of Building in the United Kingdom, and a host of prestigious need and merit-based
scholarships for construction students, UCM makes it easy to earn a world-class education
for not much more than the cost of attending community college,鈥 notes Best Value
Schools in the organization鈥檚 online rankings article.
It adds that the university鈥檚 impressive student-faculty ratio 鈥済uarantees that every
student will receive plenty of individual attention along with their path to becoming
successful leaders in the field.鈥
According to Best Value Schools the Bureau of Labor Statistics has projected that
employment for construction managers will increase by 11 percent from 2016 to 2026,
which is faster than the national average for all occupations.
Construction managers have the ability to organize and oversee construction teams
to ensure quality standards are being met and the project is finished on deadline.
One of the advantages of having a construction management degree, Best Value Schools
notes, is that students can pursue other positions, although they may require additional
education. Some graduates may consider becoming attorneys who specialize in construction,
construction managers, or architects. Because the degree requires majors to develop
business knowledge and skills, students also graduate from the construction management
program with preparation that can assist them in the business world. UCM graduates
who have completed a BS in Construction Management currently use their knowledge to
oversee many different aspects of multi-million dollar projects; coordinate and supervise
all contractors and subcontractors; and facilitate communication between all project
team members.
