I've been on the fringes of construction for years as a grants manager for affordable housing / multi-family developments.

I've had a hand in everything from initial design, zoning apps, planning commission, city council approval, and initial tenant lease-up. My skill-set generally ends when construction begins though and I want that CM skill set.

I'm very interested in the online Post Bacc CM program. I'm curious if anyone here has completed the program and what that experience looks like.

I've read that the program has become more popular than the masters program and that job opportunities are readily available after graduation.

As for location, I'm in New Orleans, married with 3 kids.

LSU is about to release an MBA program focused on construction. I would look into that if I were you.

I plan on beginning it next Fall.

ETA: the MBA is offered fully online

I'm researching this same topic and curious if you decided to enroll in the post baccalaureate program for CM?
