Areas of Specialization
Students seeking a Bachelor of Science in construction management may specialize in land surveying. Survey coursework is also available to geography and civil engineering students, and to visiting students possessing a previous bachelor’s degree. Students should discuss their career objectives with their faculty advisor in the Department of Construction.
Retention
Students must meet the following standards. Students who fail to do so will be placed on probation in the major.
- Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0
- Maintain a term GPA above 1.0 in any term

Students placed on probation should seek immediate advisement and will be informed of the conditions required for removal from probation. If the conditions are not met, students are dropped from the major and may not enroll in construction courses without written departmental permission. After one year, students are eligible to reapply for admission to the major. Students dropped from the major may direct a written appeal to the department’s academic standards committee.
