With a retirement surge in construction managers, Wilmington University’s Construction Management certificate offers up-and-coming workers a foundation for career advancement and paves an accelerated pathway to a business degree.
“This program embodies our commitment to providing industry-aligned education that prepares our students for immediate and impactful careers in the construction management field,” says Dr. Robin Weinstein, dean of the College of Business. “By merging theoretical knowledge with practical application, we ensure our graduates are not just ready to enter the workforce but are poised to become leaders in their industry. Our faculty, who are seasoned professionals in the field, bring a wealth of experience and insights.”
All 18 credits of the certificate can be applied to a bachelor’s degree. In addition, construction workers who have completed a Delaware apprenticeship have an opportunity to receive up to 42 academic credits for their work experience with WilmU’s Step Path™ for the Vocational Workforce. By combining those opportunities, students are halfway toward completion of a 120-credit bachelor’s degree program.
