Master of Construction Management (MCM)
Graduate degrees in the field of Construction Engineering and Management include the Master of Construction Management (MCM), Master of Civil Engineering (MCE), Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MSCE), Master of Science in Architectural Engineering (MS ARCE), and the Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering (PhD). Engineering graduates wishing to pursue full-time graduate study in construction engineering and management are encouraged to apply for the MCE, MSCE, MS ARCE, or PhD.
The Master of Construction Management (MCM) degree is designed for working professionals employed in the construction industry. The courses required for the MCM degree and most other degrees in construction engineering and management are taught in the evening on the Lawrence campus and available online.
The MCM degree requires 30 credit-hours, consisting of 18 hours of core courses and 12 hours of elective courses. The core courses are:
CMGT 700 Construction Project Management
CMGT 701 Construction Planning & Scheduling
CMGT 702 Construction Equipment & Methods
CMGT 703 Construction Quality, Productivity, & Safety
CMGT 704 Construction Estimating & Bidding
CMGT 705 Construction Contracts, Bonds & Insurance
The MCM degree program is open to applicants with bachelor’s degrees in architecture, business and other relevant non-engineering fields. A minimum of two years of construction-related employment is preferred for applicants with bachelor’s degrees in fields other than architecture. In general, four-year technology degrees are not acceptable. The GRE examination is not required for applicants for part-time (evening only) graduate study. Applicants for full-time study must submit GRE scores.
As a condition of admission, students may be required to take additional prerequisite courses depending on their previous academic background. These prerequisite courses will be in addition to the degree requirements and must be taken before the construction management course requiring the prerequisite. Prerequisite courses required of all students include courses in probability and statistics and engineering economics or financial analysis.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria
First-year students are assured admission into KU’s College of Liberal Arts & Sciences or School of Social Welfare if they meet one of these combinations:
A 3.25 GPA on a 4.0 scale, no test scores required or regardless of test score submitted
An ACT score of at least 21 or an SAT score of at least 1060 plus a GPA of at least 2.0
Transfer students are assured admission with 24+ transferable credit hours at a GPA of 2.5 or higher from a regionally accredited community college, college, or university.
All students are encouraged to apply, as we individually review each application for these factors:
Cumulative high school GPA
ACT or SAT scores, if available
GPA in the core curriculum
Strength of courses
College transcripts, if sent
To be considered for admission to the School of Engineering, beginning first-year students must meet or exceed the following minimum standards:
Must be admissible to the University of Kansas by assured admissions or individual review AND
Have a 3.0+ GPA AND
Have a mathematics ACT score of 22 (or math SAT score of 540).
Important: Simply meeting these requirements won't guarantee admission to a School of Engineering degree program. Students who perform beyond these minimums will have a better probability of being admitted to their selected major.
Minimum Academic Standards for Direct Admission into Degree Program for incoming Freshmen
Students with a 26+ Math ACT (600+ Math SAT) or meet eligibility requirements for MATH 125 (Calculus I) may be admitted directly into their chosen major, with the exception of those seeking admission into an EECS program. Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Interdisciplinary Computing students must have a 28+ Math ACT (640+ Math SAT) or eligibility for MATH 125 for direct admission.
First-Year General Engineering Program
Students with a 22-25 Math ACT (540-580 Math SAT) or meet eligibility requirements for Math 104 (Pre-Calculus) are admitted to the School of Engineering First-Year Experience non-degree program for undergraduate students.
First-year Engineering students have one academic year (two semesters and one summer) to transition into a degree program. Admission to a degree program is possible after one of the following is met:
Complete 12+ credit hours at KU, earn a "B" or higher in Math 104 (Pre-Calculus), earn a "C" or higher in all science and engineering courses, and earn a KU GPA of 2.5+ OR
Earn a "C" or better in MATH 125 (Calculus I), earn a "C" or better in all science and engineering courses, and earn a KU GPA of 2.5+
