Why a Career in Concrete Industry Management?
The concrete construction industry is ripe with career opportunities for college students who want more than a cookie-cutter degree program. If you also have a passion for building, the Concrete Industry Management (CIM) program may be just what you are looking for. First introduced in 1996, the CIM program offers both a four-year Bachelor of Science degree and a customized MBA in Concrete Industry Management.
Students are directly exposed to the concrete industry from the first semester on. Many companies and industry executives fund scholarships and equipment, offer plant or site tours to classes, serve as guest lecturers, provide internships and much more.
But most important for high school and college students considering such a degree, the CIM program has so far provided 100 percent job placement to graduating students. What’s more, CIM graduates are being hired into positions with starting salaries competitive with other high-tech industries.
