The program is designed for working adults and career changers. Classes are held in the evenings and on weekends, allowing you to keep your job while you study. You will complete six terms over three years. All courses are delivered on the Benchlands Campus, with hands-on sessions taking place in the Kingfisher Building and the Tamarack Building. The program does not include a co-op work term, but the practical focus means you will graduate ready to step into a supervisory or management role on day one. Intakes are available in September, January and May.

Admission

To enter the program, you need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or an equivalent credential. If you are 19 or older by the start of classes, you can apply as a mature student. You must have completed Grade 12 English (C or U) with a minimum grade of 60%, and Grade 12 math (C or U) with a minimum grade of 60%. Because this is a part-time program, you do not need to go through the provincial college application service. You can register directly with the Continuing Education office or through the main registrar.

Domestic tuition for the 2026–27 academic year is $4,110 per year. Ancillary fees, which cover student services, technology and campus facilities, are $1,125 per year.

After you graduate

Construction management is a steady field with opportunities across residential, commercial and industrial sectors.
