Advising

CM resources

Construction Management students at NAU have many resources available to them. Arguably the most valuable is advising. Our advisers can assist students in degree planning and answer any questions about the experience.

Schedule an appointment with your CM advisor

Progression plans

Details on degree requirements and courses for the CM degree and other degrees can be found in the current NAU Academic Catalog. The following is a PDF chart of the 4-year course progression plan that Construction Management students must complete before graduation.

 

*Construct for Practice (C4P): Since 2012, our curriculum has integrated practical labs with what you learn in the classroom. Team up with other students to create, design, and manage all facets of a building project.

*Information on your faculty mentor can be found in your LOUIE page.

  • Students who choose to use CM205 as an elective must work with their Advisor to make this substitution, as the system will not automatically recognize CM205 as an approved elective.
  • Students must take CM205 to be eligible to take CM405.  Exceptions to this requirement will be evaluated on an individual basis for students who meet the following minimum criteria:
    • Successful completion of CM408 (internship) OR
    • Pre-approved internship in which student tracks learning objectives relating to chosen competition area.  This must be pre-approved prior to beginning internship and not after the fact.
  • Meeting the above criteria does not guarantee a granting of the exception.  It is a minimum requirement to request evaluation of exception.

See Academic Catalog for details, including changes to required prerequisites for CM courses.
