What Is A Construction Management Degree?

[@Dan349P]

Have no degree, instead have 4 years of experience, 3 of which as a foreman. With that experience I landed a position as a field engineer, which is a gateway into higher management in the civil side of construction

[@juelz713]

I love my Construction Management Degree

[@ChristTompkins]

Love this content! I'm currently seeking an associate of applied science degree in construction management. There's a chance your local community college offers the degree, don't miss out!

[@goldstreetglobal]

I’m so excited to make the best of my learning experience and I look forward to the future projects that will further inspire my personal growth development and project portfolio!

[@Ojibwa_Islandboi]

I have 5 years construction experience. Dropped out of university at year 2 and a half. And I found out that since I completed my apprenticeship it qualifies me for 60 credits at University for a bachelor's in construction management. I think im going to do it. Idk if my heart is in it but it's an opportunity and I don't like missing opportunities.

[@Ismael04a]

Great video👍, I graduate with my associate’s degree in construction management in one month

[@Elkompamando]

Were you able to find a job

[@SpokeInspector]

Started off at the bottom of my families company. They shut the doors so my brother and I started our own construction company. Not too concerned with the degree, but I would love to know some important/recommended certifications

[@kevinwheeler7195]

Save your money. Go work in the trades and work your way up. Earn a paycheck and gain experience. You will be in a much better place at 22 or 23 with no debt from college.

[@rickdarden]

what if college is free, i’m actually getting paid 8 grand a year to go is it worth it

[@connor2701]

@@rickdarden Of course it is worth it. Having a degree gives you way more career advancement opportunities. Also most employers prefer or even require a degree.

[@ruslanlevchuk21]

What kind of trades sir?

[@KhauheloPhatela-jn5ix]

2 exams left before I become a free man!

[@chazlyle41]

List of top recommended credentials would be great. Got a few throughout school but they’re not super applicable to my job or region.

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

CCM, DBIA, CM-LEAN, CM-BIM, LEED

[@chazlyle41]

@@jasonwilliamschroeder Have the LEED (and USACE CQM-C), will work on these as they come up, thanks!

[@nathanshaver5944]

What’s a good online university/college do get my CM from? I just got out of the Army after 10 years and want to use my Post 9/11 GI Bill to do an online school for CM. Do you know of a good online degree program for CM that you personally know of or have heard others recommend?

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

@@nathanshaver5944 I actually do not know. We should ask Adam Hoots.

Did you find one?

[@nathanshaver5944]

[@simplyblessed7036]

Im applying for a construction management degree at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga. I graduated from their social work program in 1997. Im going to look at their graduate placement statistics to see how good their program is. My understanding is their program is online

[@varElfarsson]

Thanks for the Information Jason! Do you know if I can study for a Higher National Diploma in Quantity Surveying straight out of High School?

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

I am sorry. I actually do not know that one.

[@jacobpickering7975]

Hi Jason, I am considering a future in construction management, I watched a few of your videos but there is many to sift through. I'd love to know what working in construction while getting a degree would look like, or how I can gain experience while in school. Thank you.

[@nathanratermann9204]

17yrs experience building bridges. 10 yrs of it being a welding foreman. Hiring?

[@cale6457]

Do you think online schooling is a good idea or should I go to college to get the degree?

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

@@cale6457 I don’t really know. As long as you can get a job either will be fine. I would guess the piece of paper is what matters

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

@@sanketpatil9391 I’m not familiar with any there.

[@Scott-ff2oe]

Thank you.

[@GeorgiaMade404]

I think a Civil Engineering degree with a concentration in Construction offers more value than a regular CM degree. You can get a PE license after 4 years also you can get your GC license in a year or 2 after graduation.

[@NotTrolling399]

I would agree, except that if a CE and CM student are wanting to both become construction managers, the CM student is going to have a significantly easier time while making as much as the CE holder. Plus, Engineering students are some of the most awkward people I’ve ever met and construction management is all about communication.

[@KidClutch0910]

got blessed with an opportunity to work/shadow a GC specializing in residential new-build projects. However, I do not have much technical knowledge/experience in construction (currently hold a finance degree). What are some resources I can teach myself these skills? Thank you in advanced

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

Do you mean construction in general?

[@KidClutch0910]

@@jasonwilliamschroeder yes

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

I would say internships, a book about construction management, day in the life videos for construction, and this channel.

[@rayg5445]

Talk to the trades on site. Ask questions as they build. I remember working as a framer and a new CM was always asking questions about framing. He ended up with a pretty good idea of the process after a while.

[@KidClutch0910]

Appreciate the inputs and tips. Will definitely incorporate them into my work days. Thank you

[@camerondavis2955]

Weird question. I have a degree in a completely different field than construction but life changes are having me consider going back and getting a CM degree. Would a masters degree carry the same weight as 4 year degree because with my current ed. Level I could do a masters in half the time.

[@2111973]

What is the best Institute to take lean construction course and certificate ? Thank you

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

I would say the AGC CM-Lean right now. And the Lean Builder

CM degree sucks. Please to all my freshman or higher school seniors that want to go the CM route, my advice is to get a civil engineer degree or construction engineer. Buh if you want less maths, I would suggest you get a business administration degree then minor in Construction management.

[@geddon436]

Why does CM degree bad choice?

[@NotTrolling399]

@@geddon436it’s not. He’s trolling. A business degree with engineering concepts is not worse than a BA degree lmao
