Constructing the Best

Construction Management is the largest program of its type in California and the fifth largest in the country, and it is fully accredited by the American Council for Construction Education.

• Nearly 100% of Chico’s construction management graduates are hired after completing the program; they work at many of the largest firms in the country.
• At the 2010 Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) Student Competition Chico State student teams took first place in building information modeling and third in the heavy civil construction and the marine construction divisions.
• In 2009, student teams brought home three national awards from the ASC competition: second place in the Marine Construction Division and Pre-Construction Division and a third place in Building Information Modeling, and in 2007, Chico won championship awards in three divisions and an individual award for outstanding presentation.
• Chico’s Associated General Contractors of America student chapter was honored as the 2010 top chapter in the country for its efforts building transitional housing for victims of domestic violence. The award recognizes the chapter that best exemplifies service to community.
• After volunteering to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina and the 2008 Concow Fire, students from the College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Construction Management built two homes in just nine days for victims of domestic violence, for their 2010 Annual Winter Community Service Project. In 2011, those homes received the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification.
