Business Administration Minor - 18
Students taking the Construction Management program are required to take a Business Administration minor.
Minor Electives
Choose 6 credits from the following courses (students who are interested in pursuing the MBA after completion of their undergraduate degree should consider taking BSAD 341 , BSAD 475 , and FNCE 317 ):
Work Experience
Students pursuing the BSCM must document 600 hours of work experience in the construction industry. 100 hours must be obtained prior to applying to the professional degree program and an additional 500 hours must be obtained prior to graduation. Please contact the School of Architecture to get the Work Experience Requirement Form.
Maintaining Academic Standing
Students are required to complete the BSCM in a specific path sequence. Please see the attached chronological listing of courses by year with academic requirements.
Academic standards apply to the BS, BSA, BID and BSCM. A grade of C- or higher is required in order to continue in the design studio sequence. A grade of less than C- requires a student to repeat that studio before advancing in the studio sequence. Faculty approval is required for any studio course to be repeated. (This includes ART 104, ARCH 126, ARCH 215, ARCH 247, ARCH 318, ARCH 320, ARCH 441, ARCH 442; INT 341, INT 342, INT 441, INT 442.)
Application Process
Students seeking to pursue the BSCM must first submit an Andrews University undergraduate application for acceptance to the University. Students admitted to the University on regular standing are eligible to begin Pre-Professional Year One, which is a common first-year experience between these programs.
Upon completion of Pre-Professional Year One students must:
- Declare their degree program choice (BSCM) and
- Have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5
Upon completion of Pre-Professional Year Two students must apply for acceptance to the program. The application packet may be obtained from the School and must be submitted directly to the School by the application deadline. Minimum requirements to be considered for admission to the program are outlined under the program curriculum.
Transfer Students
Transfer applicants who have no previous work in architectural/interior design must complete the foundation years (pre-professional years one and two) and then make formal application to their program choice.
Advanced Standing. Transfer students from another architecture program may apply for advanced standing (third or fourth year) in their program choice. Transfer students applying for advanced standing are required to submit both the university application and the School of Architecture application. Please contact the School for specific information.
Tentative placement into the design sequence is made after the Admissions Committee has evaluated the student’s submissions. After one term, the student is given final placement in the design sequence and, on the basis of transfer-course evaluations, receives credit for previous academic work towards the Andrews University degree.
Students applying to this program, in addition to applying to Andrews University, must also contact the School of Architecture directly to confirm their reservation for the class.
Certification
According to standards set by the Construction Management Certification Institute (CMCI), an independent administrative body of the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA), a four-year degree in Construction Management plus 48 months of CM experience within 5 classifications of 30 possible experience areas meet eligibility requirements to apply to sit for the Certified Construction Manager (CCM) certification examination (cmaanet.org).
Student Learning Outcomes
At the end of the program, students should be able to:
- Build abstract relationships and understand the impact of ideas based on the study and analysis of multiple theoretical, social, political, economic, cultural, and environmental contexts.
- Use a diverse range of skills to think about and convey architectural ideas, including writing, investigating, speaking, drawing, and modeling.
- Comprehend the technical aspects of design, systems, and materials, and be able to apply that comprehension to architectural solutions.
- Synthesize a wide range of variables into an integrated design solution.
- Understand business principles for the practice of architecture, including management, advocacy, and the need to act legally, ethically, and critically for the good of the client, society, and the public.
