RIT undergraduate students may select a Construction Management minor as part of their educational plan.  The minor has elective flexibility so that a student may individualize the minor to his/her interests.  The Construction Management Minor will broaden the learning experiences and professional opportunities of non-Civil majors by creating a focus in construction management.

RIT undergraduate students from outside the Civil Engineering Technology Program will benefit from the Construction Management minor.  Students whose majors fall in the following areas would potentially benefit from the minor:   Engineering Technology, Engineering, Multidisciplinary Studies, and Business.  Of course, the minor is not limited to students in these fields of study. The minor curriculum offers broadly-based courses covering many aspects of construction management including building construction, cost estimating, construction project management, and construction safety.
