We Led the Way

The Construction Science Management (CSM) Program at Tuskegee, established in 1933 is the oldest construction baccalaureate program in the country. Its roots can be traced back to vocational trade education that began on Tuskegee's campus in 1883 to develop skilled craftsmen capable of building sound structures.

Our mission is to produce project-ready construction professionals who are managers of crew, budgets, time, and physical resources, and who are knowledgeable of construction standards and safety.

We are the BRICKS !
