Program Information

The Master of International Construction Management (M.I.C.M.) is a graduate program delivered online, designed specifically for experienced industry professionals. M.I.C.M. was the first online graduate program in construction management and it is in the top tier of advanced educational programs serving the construction industry. The program allows 3-5 years of relevant professional construction industry experience to substitute for our undergraduate levelling courses, such as estimating, quantity surveying, project management, scheduling, and construction safety.  The M.I.C.M. admissions process will examine each applicant’s university transcripts, resume, statement of purpose, and three letters of recommendation.

To earn the M.I.C.M. degree, students must successfully complete eleven ICM-prefix courses. Of these, only two are required courses: ICM 6930 (Research Methods) and ICM 6934 (Directed Research). The remaining nine courses are electives. Students select courses based on their priorities and interests.  To complete the MICM degree, students should make plans to be on campus for one day during their last semester to present their ICM 6934 research report to their committee.
