Civil Engineering BSCIV / Construction Management MS

https://catalog.drexel.edu/undergraduate/collegeofengineering/civilengineeringbs-constructionms/

The program allows students to develop technical depth and breadth in their professional and related area, which enhances their professional productivity, whether in industry or as they proceed to the PhD. Their undergraduate courses provide the necessary technical prerequisite understanding and skills for the graduate studies, a natural progression. Because the technical concepts of engineering are common, the MS in a related discipline is readily achieved. The American Society of Civil Engineers publishes the Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, so these are recognized as kindred disciplines
