The International Academy of Design & Technology – Detroit has begun enrolling students in its new Construction Management & Design (CMD) bachelor of science degree program, which covers the fundamentals of construction management as well as emerging and evolving trends in the industry.
The CMD degree is a holistic, three-year program, integrating aesthetic and functional, technical and practical through a study of project management, construction processes, interior design, architectural drafting, residential and commercial design, building systems, community planning, global sustainability, and green design. Throughout the program, students gain real-world field experience by working with construction professionals. Because of the program’s focus on green design and emerging trends, graduating students will be well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities available within the rapidly changing industry, according to the school.

The school also has launched the Construction Management & Design Scholarship Program 2009, a skills-based, juried competition, to award scholarships of up to $5,000. Legal residents of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania who are not currently enrolled at a post-secondary educational institution or actively attending a post-secondary school may enter by submitting an essay of up to 700 words explaining their vision for rebuilding Detroit and how the CMD program can help bring that vision to life.
