MS in Facilities Management

Primary Contact: Stephanie Dye
Secondary Contact: Roger Dickey, Ph.D.

The M.S. in Facilities Management emphasizes architectural and structural design, planning, energy management, engineering systems, environmental issues, and financial and asset management. The program was specifically developed to meet the needs of part-time students already working in industry. Accordingly, the required 30 term-credit hours of course work is interdisciplinary, stressing an integrated approach to the field. All facilities management, civil engineering, and environmental graduate courses are offered with evening class times, and via distance learning, to accommodate the busy schedules of working professionals.

Admission Requirements

  • Bachelor of Science in engineering, science, or business, or a baccalaureate degree in another discipline with relevant facilities experience.
  • G.P.A. of at least 3.00 on a 4.00 scale in previous undergraduate and graduate study.

Degree Requirements

30 term-credit hours, with a minimum graduate G.P.A. of 3.00 on a 4.00 scale. Additional articulation courses may be required for students with a non-quantitative undergraduate degree.
