industry is well established and active in all sectors ofconstruction. Most construction managers have attended training to receive their 10-hour or 30-hour safety cards. Few programs exist in higher education where students receive a safety card,but the number of programs providing students with a safety card upon course completion isgrowing. At Mississippi State University, students in the Building Construction Science programobtain their 30-hour construction safety card in the third year program curriculum. Studentslearn about federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) construction safetyrequirements. They also write site specific safety plans to meet accreditation requirementsthrough the American Council on Construction

The common misconception is that finance students are only studying to learn about markets and how to manage personal finances. However, finance students focus on much more than that. They carry an innate ability to understand budgets, interpret meaning from these budgets, and make important decisions that are in the best interest of the financial wellbeing of all of those involved.
