Construction Planning and Management
This program covers the most current theories and practice of construction planning and management. The program provides a valuable adjunct credential to professional school students pursuing careers in business administration, public administration, architecture, environmental studies, and other areas and a unique opportunity for professional focus to students in the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
Construction activities are complex. In contemporary society, effective planning and management of these activities requires specialized knowledge of the technical, economic and policy environment. This program couples the knowledge of how construction activities are organized with a broader understanding of the urban system in which construction projects are embedded. With the exception of statistics, all of the required courses are within the Department of Civil Engineering and the USC Price School of Public Policy.

Engineering Innovation for Global Challenges
2022-2023 New Minor!
Engineering Innovation for Global Challenges
We are increasingly facing crises on a global scale - from COVID-19 to armed conflict, displacement, and climate change. These events have a massive impact on society, environment, economy, health, and political stability, and are incredibly challenging to solve. Innovation, engineering, and entrepreneurship play a critical role in solving them.
Our Engineering Innovation for Global Challenges Minor brings together students and affected communities, private enterprise, the non-profit and government sectors through a collaborative exchange to explore various global crises and to innovate solutions that can be implemented in the field.
The minor prepares students of all majors how to lead the design of products, services and technologies with a human-centered design approach to understand and solve the needs of the real people who are in the middle of these crises. It is geared towards highly motivated students who would like to create new solutions, are comfortable with focusing on wicked problems, and care about cultural, economic, and geographic nuances.
