Notes

  1. Entry to Construction Management majors is selective; students typically require a higher minimum overall GPA than the minimum 2.0 for the general DTA. Students need to check criteria for selection by connecting with their future institution.
  2. Courses in humanities/social science must come from the current ICRC distribution list in order to count as General Education or General University Requirements (GERs/GURs) at the receiving institution. Additional general educational requirements, cultural diversity requirements, and world/foreign language requirements, as required by the transfer institution, must be met prior to the completion of a baccalaureate degree.
  3. Students are responsible for checking specific major requirements of baccalaureate institutions in the year prior to transferring.
