  • CMT 257 - Construction Management Fundamentals


    The construction of buildings, industrial projects, and heavy civil projects like bridges and roads involves not only a wide range of technical skill and knowledge, but also a significant amount of leadership ability and people skills. Throw into the mix a high degree of comfort with risk and single-minded orientation toward results, and we have a rough approximation of what “Construction Management” is. It is many things; it is not just a single task or activity, and anyone performing one of the CM functions is said to be doing construction management. It is, above all, never “just construction”.

    This course is an in-depth exploration of the general background and history of the design and construction industry, the emergence of construction management as a distinct discipline, visualization and spatial awareness skills, construction delivery methods, estimating and scheduling, leadership and team building skills, strategic foresight, emotional intelligence, cross-disciplinary fluency, and the most current trends in construction management, particularly Fast-Track Design-Build.

  • COU 460 - The Human Person


    The Human Person: Created, Fallen, & Redeemed explores the classical, Christian vision of full human flourishing. Central focus is given to consideration of the human person as created male and female in the Image of God, wounded by sin, and redeemed by grace through God’s saving action in Jesus Christ. The course proceeds from the perspective of natural law and thus sees human persons as a unity of body, soul, rational intellect, will, and passions who are created to find happiness in freedom through virtue and called by God to particular vocations. It also examines related dimensions of emotions and experience. Students will learn the dynamics of this integrative, holistic, and transformative vision in its biblical, theological, and philosophical grounding, as well as its embedding in biological, psychological, and socio-cultural contexts.
