How to Find Out If Your Credits Will Transfer

Current U of M Students: You can run a "what if" APAS report to see how your coursework might meet the construction management program requirements.

Students Outside of the U: Sometimes CMgt foundation courses can be taken at another school, including community colleges.  

Visit the U of M Transfer Credit website and consult the Transferology guides on how to find a replacement course or determine how your completed or in-progress coursework will transfer. (You will need to create a free Transferology account.)

You can also contact enrollment advisor Willie Wong to talk about how your individual coursework might transfer to the program.

Internships

An internship provides you with a hands-on opportunity to apply your classroom learning, and it's a great transition to employment. It is intended for students who have some advanced skills and knowledge and have completed many of the core courses in the major, particularly estimating, planning and scheduling, and documents and contracts. 

If you already have a job, you don't have to find a new one—you can work with your present employer to explore new responsibilities in an area of the company you haven’t yet fully experienced.

Contact the internship coordinator (cceintrn@umn.edu) if you have any questions.
