CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
Outcomes
America’s aging infrastructure will require significant new construction in the decades ahead. Schools, highways, transportation systems, and water treatment plants all need updating. You can help drive this process, working out of the integrated Christian perspective you develop during your study at Dordt. In the process you could have a significant impact on shaping our culture in a way that values justice, stewardship, creativity, collaboration, and responsibility.
Over the course of several years and after supervising a number of projects, you can become a Certified Construction Manager, a designation that could open the door to leadership positions.
