<p>I'm assuming the top schools are Cal Poly and USC. USC is expensive and hard to get into. I'll probably apply to it but not counting on it. Cal Poly I would definitely consider and apply to despite the distance from Anaheim, but I want to have a back up plan for this one. I will be a transfer student from a CC as well. I would consider construction engineering management, as well, since CSULB has that. But I'm not sure how respected it is compared to other schools.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>SDSU has a construction management program that can be accessed through their distance learning. Check it out.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.assist.org”>http://www.assist.org</a> lists the following construction majors at California public universities:</p>
<p>Construction Engineering Management B.S. (CSULB)
Construction Engineering Technology B.S. (CPP)
Construction Engineering, B.S. (SDSU)
Construction Management B.S. (CPSLO, CSUC, CSUEB, CSUFRES)
Construction Management Engineering B.S. (CSUS)
Construction Management Technology B.S. (CSUN)</p>
<p>The boldfaced one is ABET-accredited, according to <a href=“http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramSearch.aspx/AccreditationSearch.aspx”>http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramSearch.aspx/AccreditationSearch.aspx</a> , although you need to check whether that is important.</p>
<p>Thanks. I’m leaning towards CSULB or SDSU. I’ve pretty much ruled out Northridge. The reputation with them isn’t that good I’ve heard. CSULB’s location would be great for me but I’m unsure of their reputation. </p>
<p>I am definitely looking at SDSU. I’d prefer Long Beach but would pass it up if SDSU is a lot better. </p>
<p>The Construction Engineering Technology BS at CPP is also ABET accredited. You should spend some time looking over the required course at these schools for these majors to see which would prepare you best for your goals. The Construction Engineering BS at SDSU for instance does not look like it has management/business coursework but has a heavy engineering core. </p>
