The students in our department are highly sought after. They are trained to estimate,  read drawings and analyze the relationship between natural and built environments.  Students in our programs are motivated individuals who not only work hard in the classroom, but are also required to work 800 hours by the time they graduate. Because of this requirement a “majority of our students have an internship by their sophomore or junior year,” says department instructor, Larry Blackmon. “They usually work for that employer after graduation.” Feedback Blackmon has received from the industry includes that our students “are the best prepared when they enter the workforce.”
