Construction Minor

The Construction Minor (BCMN), offered through the Virginia Tech Department of Building Construction, is being discontinued.  The last term for any student to ENROLL in the Minor is Spring 2020.  The last term in which a student in the minor can graduate with the minor as part of their degree program will be Fall 2022. Current BCMN Minors should work directly with Academic Advisors in the Building Construction Department, to ensure their timely completion of all course requirements.  Students interested in adding the Minor should contact Shelton Norwood, snorwood@vt.edu PRIOR TO the end of the Spring Semester 2020.  A consultation with him will determine whether or not you will be eligible to add the minor and to complete the requirements and graduate with your current degree, by the Fall semester 2022. Any student returning from time away from the University, who is presently pursuing the minor, will be asked to work with the BC Advisors to ensure their degree and minor completion by the termination date of Fall 2022.
