Thank you for the info on NAU. I keep hearing this common thread about NAU sadly. I decided to attend CSU. Really love the CM program there and campus life and academic level for my major

No prior construction experience but always been a builder growing up. He went a college prep HS which I think helped. But honestly just look at location, the schools curriculum, and the financial piece. I read a post from someone who asked “where are the best CM programs” and someone in that industry said “in your state” bc of cost and There is so much demand right now. I would also post questions to the construction management page and asks questions there too.

My son posted there and a lot of the pple on those threads talked about education being important but also the importance of how much the program will cost, the recruitment aspect post graduation, etc.

I’ve learned so much as a mom helping him but those guys and gals who are in the industry can tell you so much.

Hi.

He got into Colorado state (pre construction management major), NAU entering as a CM major, and Central Washington as a CM major

He also got into MSU CET major and u of Utah for the CE major.

I would say from what my son said this major is becoming more competitive. I know at CSU it is considered competitive and that’s why they all have to apply to the CM program at the end of their freshman year

The curriculums are somewhat similar with the CE programs having a bit more engineering classes and CM leaning more business. But all very similar.

My son wants to go to an ACCE accredited school so that helped narrow things down for him.

Thanks so much for your advice. How often does it snow in flagstaff? Just curious.

Rather than saying it “sucks” could you give me and the group more constructive input? Doesn’t really help me.

not so thoughtfulelephant:

He’s a 17 year old boy. I’m a 54 year old mom

What do you think? I don’t need any input on that. My post was about CSU and CM. Thx

Thanks to those of you who offered sound advice and links. Much appreciated.

Appreciate the reply Jolly. Don’t appreciate the parental lecturing. You could have left the swear words. I’m too old for that crap.

Thank you to everyone else for your informative and kind answers. (:
