Section I: Request
Utah Valley University requests the addition of the Construction Management emphasis within the existing
Technology Management (TM) Bachelor of Science degree effective Fall, 2011. This action was approved
by the UVU Board of Trustees on February 10, 2011.
Section II: Need
Construction Management students seeking a bachelor degree will most commonly complete the BS in
Construction Management degree; however, this emphasis provides an option for construction
management students who have completed the emphasis-required course work on campus, but have
relocated and need to take remaining courses online. The BS in Technology Management provides such
an opportunity and supports degree completion. Many returning students at UVU have taken courses in
construction. Others are primarily interested in online course opportunities. No other similar programs are
currently offered in the state of Utah.
Section III: Institutional Impact
The Technology Management program is already in existence, with over 75% of coursework already
offered online. Technology Management currently offers several courses required in the Construction
Management BS degree, which will also be required in the new emphasis. No additional faculty, staff,
equipment or resources will be required due to the addition of the emphasis. No additional space will be
required, as students who select this option will primarily be taking courses online.
Section IV: Finances
No new funds will be required to offer this emphasis. This emphasis is not intended to conflict with students
currently enrolled in the Construction Management BS degree as it is designed primarily for local students
who cannot commute to the Orem campus or have relocated to other states.
