The Global Leaders in Construction Management (GLCM) program seeks to attract the best and brightest students from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It is a five-year program combining the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. The program’s primary focus is to provide the student with a superior balance of practice and theory with a global perspective of the construction industry. In addition to a curriculum guided toward more practice oriented subjects, students will experience three practical components over the graduate year: an international experience visiting construction companies and projects abroad, a summer internship, and a national trip to significant construction projects in the United States.
