Freshman Admission

Applicants entering as freshmen must meet the University admission requirements.

Transfer Admission

Transfer applicants not having the Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree or its equivalent must meet University admission requirements.

Transfer applicants with AAS degrees must:

1. Hold an AAS degree in a field from among: Architectural, Building Construction, Civil Engineering Technology, Construction Management, Design and Drafting, Surveying Technology, or similar title with curriculum acceptable to the  department (It should be noted by potential transfer students that students with an AAS in Civil Engineering Technology are typically best positioned for entry to the program with fewest entrance deficiencies.);
2. An overall GPA of at least 2.2 (based on the 4.0 system) on all courses taken at the technical institute or community college; and
3. Have completed satisfactorily the prerequisite background courses for the program (a limited number of such background courses may be made up by taking them at UNC Charlotte). Acceptance of the AAS degree indicates the acceptance of up to 64 hours toward the Bachelor of Science in Construction Management (BSCM) degree program only. These hours may not  be valid toward other degree programs at UNC Charlotte.

Acceptance of the AAS degree indicates the acceptance of up to 64 hours toward the Bachelor of Science in Construction Management (BSCM) degree program only. These hours may not be valid toward other degree programs at UNC Charlotte.

There is considerable variance in the contents of technical programs throughout the United States. Should this result in entrance deficiencies, the student can usually remove these deficiencies at a community or technical college prior to admission to UNC Charlotte, or during the first year at UNC Charlotte.

Residence Requirements

A student must earn the last 30 credit hours of credit toward the degree and the last 12 semester hours of work in the major at UNC Charlotte to satisfy residence requirements.

Academic Requirements and Discontinuance Conditions in Construction Management

In addition to University and College of Engineering conditions, a student who is admitted to the CM program without meeting ALL published admission requirements is expected to remove all admission deficiencies within one year. Violators are subject to discontinuance and enrollment in Senior level coursework is prohibited until all deficiencies are removed.

Prerequisite Courses

Students must have satisfactorily completed the following subjects in their two-year associate degree program:

• English Composition and/or Technical Writing (6 credit hours)
• Algebra and Trigonometry (3 credit hours)
• Differential and Integral Calculus (6 credit hours)
• Analytical, Physical, or Environmental Science with Lab (8 credit hours)
• Macro Economics (3 credit hours)
• Construction Methods
• Construction Materials
• Statics
• Strength of Materials
• Construction Surveying
• Computer-Aided Drafting
• Environmental Technology, Hydraulics, or Hydrology
• Engineering Technology Computing Applications

Course Requirements

Course requirements correspond to the mode of admission for each student as outlined hereafter.

1. Entering Freshmen: students admitted as entering freshmen will complete the respective four-year curriculum as described below.
2. Transfer students holding an AAS degree: transfer students with an acceptable associate degree as defined previously under admission requirements begin the program at the Junior year with up to 64 credit hours awarded. Prerequisites for students holding an acceptable associate degree from a community or technical college are listed below.
3. Transfer students not holding an associate degree: transfer students not holding an AAS degree must complete the remaining coursework for the four-year curriculum after transfer credit application.
