Licence en Gestion de la Construction

Overview

The Construction Management degree (BST) was created in 1979 to provide our construction program with a greater focus on the management of construction activities. We were one of the first universities to use the Construction Management title for a program. The Construction Management program requires students to take a strong core construction curriculum supported by the emphasis in one of the following: Building Information Modeling (BIM), Civil Construction, Company Management, Field Management, Residential Construction, Safety Management.

The Construction Management program was one of the first Construction Management programs accredited by the Applied and Natural Science Accreditation Commission of ABET.

The construction management program at Pittsburg State is among the best of its kind in the United States. Using state-of-the-art equipment inside the world-class Kansas Technology Center, students who earn a construction management degree receive a hands-on education that prepares them for all aspects of the industry.

The program begins with a laboratory approach to construction materials and methods education then proceeds through appropriate laboratory and construction project management and engineering coursework.

This new city needed teachers. It was the early 1900s. Coal mining, brick manufacturing, and various heavy industries had become economic engines in Pittsburg. Opportunities abound for those ready to work. But first, they needed to learn. They needed teachers. The Kansas State Manual Training Normal School Auxiliary opened in September 1903. One building, 54 students. This new school would prepare teachers in curriculum areas vital to success and prosperity in the hands-on, industrial age.

More than a century later, that mission remains at the core of Pittsburg State University. By providing interactive, engaging courses throughout four different colleges, Pitt State transforms the lives of our students, our community, and the entire Southeast Kansas region.
