If you can find a Building Construction program, it might fit the bill quite nicely. Fair number of students who didn’t get into Civil E went with this as their 2nd choice. This is NOT Construction Engineering, nor is it in the engineering college. This is more post construction management of buildings. Some math required, but not as much as engineering and it starts out a little lower key. There are probably only a few programs like this - check out the one at Virginia Tech http://www.bc.vt.edu (not trying to push VT for him, but it will give you an idea of the program). In their program, they boast 100% job placement and alumnae are heavily involved in the program. Word is alum totally funded the BC building, Can be a commercial real estate aspect to this as well.
