BS in Construction Management - Minors

Many Construction Management students pursue minors in addition to their CM degree. A minor can help you gain additional understanding and skills that strengthen your competitiveness in the job market.   Minors  require that students earn a C or better in every course required for the minor, and that the student maintains at least a 2.0 overall GPA in the minor coursework (this includes counting repeated courses). A listing of all minors at LSU can be found near the front of the LSU General Catalog (p. 27 in the 2008-2009 catalog; see http://www.lsu.edu/catalogs/2008/print.shtml); descriptions of requirements given may be found in the General Catalog under the corresponding college or department overseeing the minor.

To declare a minor, see a counselor in the College of Engineering Dean's Office (3304 PFT Hall). They will enter it into the records system, after which it will appear as a new section on your degree audit. You may enroll in multiple minors.

To earn a minor, you MUST complete minor requirements PRIOR to graduation from LSU; you cannot return later to complete a minor.  However, an incomplete minor will not prevent you from graduating; it will simply be removed from your transcript if you graduate before all minor requirements are completed.

Following is an overview of requirements for minors commonly taken by Construction Management students. Occasionally the requirements noted here may become dated if the minors are changed mid-year.  If interested in pursuing a minor, always contact the College of Engineering Dean's office to get the latest requirements for the minor.
