2023 Construction Management Students

STUDENTS

College can be a supremely momentous time of one's life; it is an opportunity for personal progress and expansion. Undergraduates continue to discover who they wish to become and forge many of the necessary skills to become a thriving member of society. But learning is more than sitting in a classroom environment - the late nights discussing Noriega with a schoolmate, the funny story learned from a tenured instructor, the exposure to a different view. Therefore, attending a diverse college greatly enhances what you gain from your time in college.

Construction Management is in the bottom 10% of subjects for racial diversity*. 79% of the nation's Construction Management majors are white students, followed by latino students (7%), students of other races**(7%), and black students (5%). The most ethnically diverse college* in the top 100 is California State University-East Bay&nbspin Hayward, CA.

Moreover, Construction Management is the the 6th most male dominated major, with male students out numbering female students by a 8 to 1 ratio. The University of Texas at Tyler in Tyler, TX has the most gender balanced student body in the top 100.
