What is the difference in credibility of these two construction management programs.?

I am currently a Construction Management student at Pennsylvania College of Technology and am looking to transfer to Temple Universities program. Are there any pros and cons to this? Is one better than the other? Will one look better on a resume than another? Thank you for your help.|||For Construction Management BS degrees, the main accreditation body is called the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE). On its website is has a list of accredited programs and programs that are pending accreditation. They require each accredited program to meet specific course content requirements that the construction industry has supported since the group was originally formed by the construction industry in the late 1960's. As long as a program has ACCE accreditation, it is a nationally accepted degree in construction management. Large employers hire graduates across the US but if you want to work at more of a regional company, many of them support the local university and hire their graduates first.





Engineering and engineering technology programs are accredited by accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). ABET is a good accrediting body as well. Most all the Construction Engineering Technology programs would be more ABET accredited. It looks like PCT is ACCE and Temple is ABET. I would encourage you to research both accrediting bodies to see the difference in what they do for construction programs and make the best educated decision on your future plans.





I would say overall for the construction industry, if you are a highly motivated, problem solver, that has good oral and written communication skills they industry would have no problem hiring you from either university.
