Accreditation

Bachelor of Science in Construction Engineering Management

The (ACCE) provides specialized accreditation for construction management programs. The ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓB.S. Construction Engineering Management (CEM) program was first accredited by ACCE in 1980 and was re-accredited in 1990, 1996, 2002, 2008, 2014 and 2021. In 2021 the CEM program accreditation was extended for the maximum six years allowed by ACCE.
