UNM Construction Management Program Receives Reaccredidation
The Construction Management Program in the University of New Mexico Civil Engineering Department has received accreditation renewal from the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE). The program, housed in the UNM School of Engineering, has about 35 students and is directed by Jerald Rounds, professor of Civil Engineering and an Associated General Contractors Endowed Chair.
The ACCE Board of Trustees announcement states the UNM program has maintained stringent standards and has proven to a visiting team of peers and industry practitioners to be worthy of reaccredidation. A plaque was presented to UNM by ACCE to signify the continued quality of education.
The UNM program is in its 12th year of accreditation and has been in existence more than 30 years. Recently, a Master of Construction Management program was created at UNM for construction professionals with a non-engineering degree in a related field.
The University of New Mexico is the state's largest university, serving more than 32,000 students. UNM is home to the state's only schools of law, medicine, pharmacy and architecture and operates New Mexico's only academic health center. UNM is noted for comprehensive undergraduate programs and research that benefits the state and the nation.
