consideration of graduate construction coursework, faculty course loads andcapabilities, student and local industry needs and limitations, and departmental resources.Setbacks to commencing the graduate program occurred due to limited initial course enrollmentand the need for additional marketing of the program. Based on the local constructionindustry’s interest in the program and level of construction activity, it is expected that theprogram will eventually provide graduate education meeting the demand for a higher level ofconstruction knowledge.I.
