MSUM students are doing amazing things. Our students embrace diversity, challenges, opportunities, unique experiences and continue to produce incredible results. Our students participate in student organizations, attend and present at regional and national conferences, compete at regional and national competitions, collaborate on faculty-mentored projects, gain hands-on experience through internships, help coordinate community service projects, and more. Many have won prestigious scholarships for academic excellence and many have won awards for their stellar work inside and outside of the classroom. See what the students from the Construction Management program are doing.
Points of Pride
All Construction Management students sit for the CQE Level 1, Construction Fundamentals Exam when they are enrolled in the CM 496 Capstone Experience. The Exam is developed and monitored by the American Institute of Constructors Certification Commission. The exam has been given each semester since 2000. The students have scored at the national average or higher 21/ 24 times that the exam has been given.
This spring semester (2012), 23 of 29 students who sat for the exam passed it, which is nearly an 80% success rate. Overall, the national average was 58%. The test has ten curriculum areas of assessment and each area establishes a minimum acceptable score. The MSU Moorhead CM program averages were greater than the national averages in all ten areas and no weaknesses were indicated for the program. The results of this exam show that students who graduate from the MSU Moorhead receive an excellent education and well prepared to enter the workforce.
