A Future You Can Build On

Concrete is the foundation that keeps America's office buildings, roads and bridges, manufacturing facilities, stores and schools operating. The concrete industry uses cutting-edge technology and sustainability to meet the needs of developers, engineers, architects, city planners, departments of transportation and others. Concrete is being used more innovatively than ever before, creating an urgent need for individuals who possess both focused concrete technology skills and broad business education to move the industry forward. Students graduating with a bachelor's degree in Concrete Industry Management will leave SDSU as concrete experts ready to fill these important roles.

Degrees Offered

Graduates of the concrete industry management program will fill the growing demand for technical managers in pre-stressed concrete product manufacturing, ready-mix sales and marketing and supply chain management for regional concrete producers.
