Program Overview
The MISSION of the Construction Management Technology program (CMT) is to develop a capable and knowledgeable workforce and to prepare interested participants for career success in the field of construction. The program focuses on practical aspects of technology, offering a flexible pathway for students' success, combining technology transfer measures with practical industrial experience, emphasizing successful project management operations, and Green Building Technology implementation.
The UMES-CMT Program at USG offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management Technology and is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE). Students can take introductory qualifying courses at neighboring community colleges or universities and transfer them to the CMT program to complement core construction and management courses offered at the USG campus. CMT enjoys the support of an Industry-Academia Advisory Board in developing the most suitable training program to accommodate today's industry requirements. All CMT students must have a minimum of two summer internship sessions to satisfy their practical experience in the field of construction and maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 in the program.
Students need at least 56 qualifying credits before transferring into the CMT program, and a maximum of 70 community college credits would be allowed. Students must take the remaining credits at USG while in the CMT program at USG. A minimum GPA of 2.0 is necessary to be considered for transfer credits, with a minimum grade of "C" for each course.
