The Construction Science and Management Program at Tuskegee is one of the old­est construction baccalaureate programs in the country.

Its roots can be traced back to the trade orientation that Tuskegee had in the early twentieth century. Its mission at one time was to provide skilled craftsmen who were capable of building sound structures and who would ultimately strive to become general contractors.

However, its present mission is much broader than its original one. The skills that are required of its graduates are more comprehensive. Construction graduates are required to appreciate the work of the craftsman and know the standards of quality that are required of all trades involved in the construction process. But the construction pro­fessional is also a manager of people, money, time and physical resources. The curricu­lum of the Construction Science Management and Program endeavors to develop these skills through course offerings in general studies, Physical Science, Humanities, Business, and Architecture in addition to construction courses.
