Upper Division Review Requirements 

While students are Lower Division (freshmen/sophomore level) at MSU they are not required to declare a major preference however they may if they want. A student is either a No-Preference major or has selected a major preference that they intend to pursue. However, when students reach Upper Division (Junior level with 56 credits) they are required to declare a major.


The number of students admitted to upper division in the Construction Management Program is limited. Students seeking admission must at least meet the criteria listed below to be considered for admission and to enroll in 300 and 400 level CMP courses*.

  1. Completion of at least 56 semester credits
  2. A University cumulative grade-point average of 2.3 or higher.**
  3. Completion of the following courses with a minimum grade of 2.0 in each:
    • EC 201 or 202 – Must earn a minimum of a 2.0
    • MTH 124 – Must earn a minimum of a 2.0
    • PHY 231 – Must earn a minimum of a 2.0
    • STT 200/201/315 or 421 – Must earn a minimum of a 2.0
  4. To be ready for the 300 level courses, the following should be completed: CMP 101, 124, 210, 211, 222 & 230

*Once admitted to upper division, students will be issued overrides into all 300 level courses based on CMP GPA.

**If you have completed the above with at least a 2.0 minimum GPA in each while maintaining an overall CUM GPA of a 3.0 (although a CUM GPA of a 2.3 CUM GPA is used for minimum consideration for admission, it does NOT guarantee admission. Due to the number of applicants, we use a higher standard than the minimum) and have reached 56 credits, you are admissible into the major. However, admission does NOT guarantee a seat in the 300 level courses. IF there is a seat shortage your CMP GPA will determine your ability to get overrides (we rank you in order based on your CMP GPA, all 100 & 200 level courses).
