Construction Management
The learning community will be joining a mentoring group, and you will begin exploring all the construction industry has to offer through your course work, through site visits to construction projects and through your network of friends and faculty.
For specific questions regarding the Construction Management LC, please email Danielle Gilbert (dlgreer@purdue.edu).
Eligibility
- First-year beginning students admitted to the Purdue Polytechnic Institute with a major in Construction Management or Design and Construction Integration.
- First-year beginning students admitted to Exploratory Studies interested in exploring the Construction Management program
Residential Component
- Students will indicate interest in learning communities (LCs) and apply during their housing application process. Students will be informed of the status of their LC application in mid-May.
- Roommate selection will occur after LC decisions have been made. If admitted to an LC, students will need to match with other student(s) admitted to the same LC. If not selected for an LC, the student's original housing preferences will be considered during general housing placement and the student will be able to roommate match with other general housing students.
- The location of learning community housing will be determined based on the incoming class size and the needs of the learning community.
