also if you can, what are some good 4-year colleges to go to for construction management
The University of Akron in Akron, Ohio has a really good Construction Engineering Technology Program. Many of the students use this degree to go into Construction Management. You can get an associates degree after the first 2 years, or stay for 4 years to get your bachelors degree. Many of the classes are flexible so that students can work while attending school. I am currently a senior in this program and really like it! The biggest downfall with this program is that it is a “tech” program. If you decide to transfer out of this program and into another, many of the classes may not transfer into non-tech majors.
you can search for Construction Engineering Tech under Academics & Majors
Also, Kent State University in Kent, Ohio is about 20 minutes away from Akron. They have a really good Architecture program, but it is a very demanding program. There is very little class flexibility, plus the work load is intense and it is recommended that students do not have a job while enrolled in this program. I was a student in this program but left to go to Akron.
I have done very well in both programs and I do not know a thing about tools! Managers do more supervising and behind the scenes work rather that building.
you would most likely have to go thru a program specifically for Construction Mgmt - (I do believe there are schools for that) or as a mechanical engineer or something similar - google “construction management degrees” or similar phrases
