"The NKU Construction Management program has enabled me to understand how buildings are built and operate. In my current role, I analyze the financial data of real estate investments and still utilize the education and career knowledge that I learned through the Construction Management program. The internships and professors had a major impact on my career and personal life.  The internships allowed me to work with the largest construction management companies in Cincinnati. The professors had such a vested interest - they were there for me during the program and well after. The professors had me thinking on a much grander scale, and I’m forever grateful for that."
