The Global Leaders in Construction Management 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.
