Farmingdale State College Announces New Master of Science in Construction Management
Farmingdale State College (FSC) today announced the launch of a new Master of Science degree program in construction management, designed to prepare professionals for leadership roles in the planning, development, and management of construction projects in today’s emerging technology-driven industry.
The program offers an exceptional and affordable pathway for advanced study for graduates of baccalaureate programs in construction management architecture, engineering, engineering technology, and related undergraduate programs. With the New York metropolitan area and Long Island among the most active hubs for construction and infrastructure development, the new degree aligns with regional workforce needs and emerging industry trends.
“Driven by ongoing investment in infrastructure, sustainable development, housing, and commercial projects, the demand for leaders in the construction sector remains strong and continues to grow," said Dr. Kenneth Lee, PE, dean of the Pasternack School of Engineering Technology. “Our new Master of Science in construction management was designed to fuel the workforce with industry leaders prepared to manage complex projects and navigate rapid technological change.”
The curriculum emphasizes sustainable building practices, infrastructure development, and the integration of advanced technologies, including Building Information Modeling (BIM) and green construction methods. Students gain the skills needed to address contemporary challenges in project planning, cost management, safety, scheduling, compliance, and risk. Graduates will also be able to apply construction law, contracts, and procurement methods to ensure compliance, and support effective project delivery.
Designed with flexibility for working professionals, students may pursue the degree full- or part-time, with most courses offered in the evening. Full-time students can finish the degree in as little as two semesters. Applications are being accepted for enrollment in the fall 2026 semester.
