The Program North Dakota State University offers a bachelor's degree in facility management. A minor in business administration is built into the curriculum. The facility management program is truly interdisciplinary with course work taken in interior design, industrial engineering, construction management, computer science, textiles, statistics, natural and social sciences and business. Each student is required to complete a field experience in a professional work setting. The experience must be for a full semester for the baccalaureate degree.
Students generally do their field experience during the summer between their junior and senior year.
The placement is determined by the type of institution in which the student wishes to work as well as preferred geographic location. Competition for the interns has led to some high-paying positions. Students have interned in Connecticut, Texas, Florida, Arizona, California, Minnesota, and North Dakota.
