The Construction Management Department at Cal Poly is a tight knit group of faculty and staff working to provide students the best possible education and the help they need to progress to graduation and to leave Cal Poly ready for the challenges they can expect in the professional world. Students take a variety of classes, join one or more professional student organizations, and frequently intern with one of the many companies that visit the campus over the course of each year. Upon graduation, the department has virtually 100% placement in the construction industry.
