Minor in Facility Management
While the construction science major focuses on creating, planning, and supervising the built environment, the facilities management minor focuses on maintaining its functionality.
In this program, you’ll learn how to integrate people, places, and technology to support the public and the spaces they occupy. You’ll also become familiar with the core components of project management, including:
- Life cycle of a project
