Three Rivers Community College is located in the community of Norwich, in southeastern Connecticut. A state-funded renovation of the main campus was announced in 2003, expanding and upgrading facilities for the student body. The school combines liberal arts courses with technical/vocational programs, offering students a well-rounded basis for further education. The program in construction management technology awards an associate degree in science, with courses such as construction graphics, algebra and calculus, CAD and accounting.
Central Connecticut State University, as the name suggests, is located in the central Connecticut city of New Britain. The university's school of engineering and technology offers both a bachelor's and a master's program in construction management. Construction management is available as a conventional full-time day program, or as a part-time evening program for working students. The program includes a substantial mathematical component, as well as civil engineering and use of industry-specific computer programs.
Outside of Connecticut, the two closest schools with construction management programs are in the Boston area. Wentworth Institute of Technology is located within Boston itself, approximately 60 miles northeast of the Connecticut border on I-395. The institute offers both a bachelor's and a master's degree in construction management. Applicants to the construction management program must have written the level-1 associate constructor's exam, and the 30-hour OSHA course in construction safety must be completed as a prerequisite to graduation.
Brandeis University is located in Waltham, Massachusetts, a Boston suburb approximately 50 miles northeast of the Connecticut border on I-395. The school offers a master's degree or credit-bearing graduate certificate in management of programs and projects. The master's program consists of seven required courses and three electives, totalling 30 credits. The certificate program requires only six courses, and 18 credits. The certificate is a standalone credential in its own right, but the credits may also be applied to the master's program.
