Degree Requirements

Qualifying CM degrees:  Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering and Construction Science.

Accredited sites:

ACCE (American Council for Construction Education)
http://acce-hq.org/baccalaureateprograms.htm 

ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)
http://www.abet.org/accrediteac.asp

NAAB (National Architecture Accrediting Board). 
U.S. http://www.naab.org/schools/search.aspx?searchType=A
Canada http://www.naab.org/usr_doc/canadian_schools.pdf

In order for CMCI to determine the equivalency of a non-ABET/ACCE/NAAB accredited degree, the applicant must provide CMCI with an official transcript or other evidence showing the date of graduation, the courses taken, and the name of the degree granted.

VERIFICATION OF DEGREE
If you are qualifying using a CM accredited-related degree (construction management, architecture, engineering) to substitute for general project experience, then you will need to submit evidence of the degree.  A photocopy of the degree itself is sufficient.  If you are submitting transcripts, they need to be sent directly from the college or university you attended. 

About Accreditation (according to ABET)
In the United States, accreditation is used to assure quality in educational institutions and programs. Accreditation is a voluntary, non-governmental process of peer review. It requires an educational institution or program to meet certain, defined standards or criteria. Accreditation is sometimes confused with certification. In general, institutions and programs are accredited, and individuals are certified.
