The Department of Construction Management, in conjunction with the Department of Architecture, offers a five-year dual-degree program to provide students education in both the design and construction disciplines. Students must consult an advisor and apply to the Department of Architecture at the end of their second year of study.  At the end of Winter quarter in their third year, they will apply to the Department of Construction Management to gain entry into the program. The curriculum is a blending of the Architecture and Construction Management programs.  Graduates of the dual-degree program receive both a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management degree and a Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies.  Students interested in the dual-degree program are encouraged to consult undergraduate advisors in both departments.

This undergraduate program prepares students for application to graduate professional degree programs in architecture, construction management or facilities management as well as entry-level supervisory or managerial positions in the construction industry. The program requires a minimum of 225 credits, typically taken over 15 quarters.  Therefore, students in the Architecture program who pursue the dual degree option must remain in school for only three more quarters to obtain their CM degree!

The first two-year segment, taken prior to admission to the College of Architecture and Urban Planning, requires 88 credits of liberal arts background and preparatory architectural courses taken at the University of Washington. These courses can be taken through UW Extension prior to admission to the University or can be taken in the sophomore year on campus.  Completion of the degree program requires an additional 137 credits.
