Admission Requirements for Freshman, Transfer, and Current CSU Students
Students seeking to apply to the Construction Management (CM) program at Colorado State University (CSU) must be admitted to CSU as (or change their major to) Pre-CM. To apply to CM, Pre-CM students must meet the following minimum* requirements:
- Completion of 15 CSU credit hours**
- 2.75 cumulative CSU GPA
- Completion of CON 101 Introduction to Construction with a “B” grade or better
- Completion of CO 150 College Composition with a “B” grade or better
- Completion of MATH 125 Numerical Trigonometry with a “C” grade or better
Once a student has met the minimum requirements listed above they are eligible to formally apply to the program (see below). We will admit approximately 100 students each semester in May and December based on academic performance in regards to the requirements listed above.
*Meeting minimum requirements does NOT guarantee admission to the CM program.
**All students must meet requirements and apply to CM by the completion of either 45 CSU credit hours for freshman or 30 CSU credit hours for transfer students. After that time they will be ineligible for application to the CM program and must select another program of study.
