Construction science graduates manage the construction process. They coordinate the builders, machinery and materials to ensure that projects are completed on time and under budget. Housed in the College of Architecture, students in OU's Haskell & Irene Lemon Construction Science Division learn the communication skills and technical background needed to effectively manage a construction project. In addition to the construction science curriculum, students take architecture and business courses and work collaboratively on projects to give them an understanding and ability to effectively communicate with architects, engineers and designers. One of the divisions primary goals is to provide students with a collaborative education to help them develop leadership skills essential to success after graduation. Thanks largely in part to this unique education, our graduates are well prepared for work in the construction industry and are actively recruited by top employers. On average, construction science students have a 90 percent job placement rate upon graduation.
