Why Northwestern?

Unique Program Features

Whereas many MS programs focus on the technical aspects of civil and architectural engineering design and construction, the MPM program encourages students to build on their technical backgrounds by emphasizing the practical business and management perspectives needed to effectively synthesize these operations. Graduates of the MPM program are well equipped to take a more high-level view of a project and plan, coordinate, control, and evaluate the activities of diverse specialists within a project framework.
