Courses & Degree Requirements
A majority of the Construction Management classes are offered during the late afternoon and early evening to allow students to work part-time or even full-time while also pursuing the M.Eng. degree. Students without prior work experience in the United States are strongly encouraged to complete a two semester internship prior to graduation. Students may start their practicum after completing one semester of academic work at Vanderbilt University. For International Students, please consult with the VU office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) for your eligibility to conduct the practicum.
We assist students in securing an internship.
