Night classes

The Construction Management program offers primarily evening classes, one night per week per class. Most CM classes are held between 6-9pm Monday thru Thursday, and nearly all CM classes are offered exclusively at Rock Creek. Exceptions include General Education, Writing, and Computer Applications classes that are offered on multiple campuses and online. Given our size, many CM courses are offered only once per year, so planning your courses with an advisor is important for students to complete on time. A CM course planner is available from a BCT faculty member. Students typically graduate in 2-2.5 years.

Schedule

While the majority of new students enter the program in the fall term, it is still possible to complete the degree in two years if you begin in winter or spring, if you attend in the summer and carry a heavier class load. We will work with you to develop an academic plan that suits your specific requirements. You may need to spread the coursework out over time, taking one or two classes each term. It is not required that you attend full-time. Some students earn a degree slowly, balancing work, family, and coursework. And down the road, you can continue at night or online with OIT or SOU and earn a Bachelor’s degree in just two more years.
