The Department of Technology graduate degree programs provide advanced education, research opportunities, and professional development in selected technical areas. Current trends suggest increased growth in job opportunities for individuals with advanced training in technical fields. The graduate level curriculum for Building Science focuses on developing construction management expertise and is also recognized for its emphasis on energy efficient building design and construction and use of alternative building materials.

Each graduate student designs a unique program of study that includes an 18-hour common core of course work and an additional 18 hours of course work tailored to the individual's concentration area, background, and individual interests. Cross-disciplinary study and field-based internships are encouraged. The program of study is developed in conjunction with the student's graduate advisor during the first semester of enrollment. A committee of three graduate faculty members, selected by the student, provides guidance to the student throughout his or her program.

Contact Jeff Tiller for additional information about graduate coursework in Building Science.
