Construction is America's largest single industry that impacts virtually all other businesses.
This dynamic industry always has need for talented, skilled professionals trained in the managerial, technological, economic, social, and environmental aspects of construction and project development. The CM program at Michigan State University is a national leader in preparing professionals to meet the current and future needs of the construction industry. The CM program, established in 1948 through the University's land grant, teaching, and outreach mission, has expanded to accommodate a changing industry, and today integrates business and technological course work focusing on both commercial and residential construction. It is affiliated with the Associated General Contractors of America, the National Association of Home Builders, and the Associated Schools of Construction. The size of the CM program is very student friendly.
