Sellinger School of Business and Management • Baltimore, MD • Campus • $61,810/Year (Full-Time Flat Tuition)
Loyola University Maryland offers 2 construction management pathways:
- B.S. in Construction Management and Real Estate Development, Construction Engineering Concentration
- B.S. in Construction Management and Real Estate Development, Real Estate Development Concentration
Program Pathways Overview
| Program | Est. Tuition | Est. Duration | Credit Hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| B.S., Construction Engineering | $247.2K | 4 years (8 semesters) | 120 |
| B.S., Real Estate Development | $247.2K | 4 years (8 semesters) | 120 |
Tuition estimates use Loyola’s 2026-27 full-time flat undergraduate tuition for four years.
- Why choose it: Loyola’s new B.S. is built around four construction management studios worth 28 credits, taken by both concentrations, inside a business school.
- Trade-off: The program launched in 2026, so it has no graduates, no outcomes data, and no ACCE accreditation yet, and it carries private-university tuition.

B.S., Construction Engineering Concentration
The estimated tuition for the B.S. with the Construction Engineering concentration at Loyola University Maryland is approximately $247,240 (four years at $61,810/year full-time).
The program can generally be completed in about 4 years (8 semesters).
The B.S. in Construction Management and Real Estate Development launched in 2026 in the Sellinger School of Business and Management. The Construction Engineering concentration adds engineering science and building systems to the shared studio core.
Construction Engineering Curriculum
The degree combines Loyola’s 45-credit liberal arts core, a shared major core of business and studio courses, and a 30-credit engineering concentration. Math is Calculus I, with General Physics I and lab also required.
- Construction studios (28 credits): Construction Management Studio I (6 credits), Studio II (8), Studio III (8), and Studio Capstone (6)
- Sustainability: Sustainability in the Built Environment, Climate-Responsive Building Design, Sustainability Design and LEED Certification
- Engineering science: Statics, Introduction to Engineering Materials with lab
- Building systems: Environmental Control Systems with lab, Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Systems with lab, Telecommunication Systems in Smart Buildings
- Business: Financial Accounting, Management, Professional or Technical Writing
- Liberal arts core: includes Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Intermediate Spanish II, philosophy, theology, ethics, history, and fine arts
The studio sequence replaces separate estimating, scheduling, and contracts courses with large integrated blocks, so students work on full project problems each year. The engineering courses lean toward sustainable building systems and LEED, which suits mechanical, sustainability, and building-performance roles. More curriculum details are available here.
You Should Know
- Studio I runs in fall only, and Studios II and III and the Capstone run in spring only, so a missed studio can delay graduation by a year.
- Loyola’s core includes Intermediate Spanish II unless students test out.
- Loyola’s advising notes encourage Calculus II and an introductory programming or engineering course as first-year electives.
Construction Engineering Internship and Field Experience
- Loyola describes paid internships as part of the program
- No internship course appears on the degree worksheet
- Students tour active construction sites with industry professionals
Local and national industry partners helped design the curriculum, which should help with placements. Because the internship is not a listed course, students should confirm early whether it is required for graduation.
Construction Engineering Admissions
Admission is through Loyola’s standard first-year undergraduate process rather than a separate program application.
- Strong high school math preparation matters, since Calculus I and calculus-based physics are first-year requirements
- Transfer admission details for the new major are not clearly stated
B.S., Real Estate Development Concentration
The estimated tuition for the B.S. with the Real Estate Development concentration at Loyola University Maryland is approximately $247,240 (four years at $61,810/year full-time).
The program can generally be completed in about 4 years (8 semesters).
The Real Estate Development concentration prepares students to guide projects from initial concept through planning, financing, and development, with the same construction studios as the engineering track.
Real Estate Development Curriculum
The degree requires 120 credits: 45 in the liberal arts core, 49 in the program core (including 28 studio credits), 24 in the concentration, and at least one free elective. Math is Calculus I.
- Construction studios (28 credits): Studio I, Studio II, Studio III, and Studio Capstone
- Real estate: Real Estate Finance and Investment, Accessible Housing Environment, Real Estate Modeling and Valuation
- Finance and business: Financial Accounting, Financial Management, Management, Professional or Technical Writing
- Sustainability: Sustainability in the Built Environment
- Electives (choose three): additional construction management courses, real estate technology, information systems, management, marketing, or law courses
This track pairs the construction studios with finance and valuation, which suits owner-side, developer, and project management roles where budgets and financing drive decisions. More curriculum details are available here.
You Should Know
- Real Estate Finance and Investment (REE 325) and Accessible Housing Environment run in fall only; Real Estate Modeling and Valuation runs in spring only.
- This track has no statics, engineering materials, or building systems courses.
Real Estate Development Internship and Field Experience
The same paid internship and site-visit opportunities described for the program apply. No internship course appears on the worksheet.
Real Estate Development Admissions
Admission follows Loyola’s standard undergraduate process; students choose a concentration within the major.
Tuition
Loyola’s 2026-27 undergraduate tuition is a flat $61,810 per year ($30,905 per semester) for full-time students taking 12 to 20 credits. Part-time students pay $975 per credit.
| Cost Item (2026-27) | Annual | Four-Year Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition (full-time flat rate) | $61,810 | $247,240 |
| Residence hall housing | $12,290 | Not included above |
| Meal plan (first-year and sophomore residents) | $7,340 | Not included above |
Rates come from Loyola’s 2026-27 undergraduate cost breakdown.
Be aware that:
- The four-year estimate assumes no tuition increases after 2026-27.
- Loyola offers merit scholarships and need-based aid that can lower the net price.
- Housing, meals, health insurance, books, and lab or studio costs are not included in the tuition total.
The flat-rate structure rewards full course loads: students can take up to 20 credits per semester at no added tuition. Net price depends heavily on scholarships, so families should run Loyola’s net price calculator.
Why Choose This Construction Management Program?
Best suited for students who want a private-university, business-school construction degree in Baltimore and are comfortable joining a new program.
For future engineers and builders: The Construction Engineering track adds statics, materials, MEP systems, and LEED-focused design to the studio core.
For future developers: The Real Estate Development track connects construction studios with finance, valuation, and housing coursework.
The honest trade-off: As a 2026 launch, the program has no track record, no ACCE accreditation, and once-a-year studios, and the sticker price is high before aid.
Accreditation and Credentials
Loyola University Maryland is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, which supports federal financial aid eligibility and credit transfer. The Sellinger School is accredited by AACSB International.
The construction management program is too new to hold ACCE or ABET accreditation. ACCE generally reviews programs once they have graduates, so students should ask Loyola about its accreditation plans.
The Construction Engineering concentration includes a course on Sustainability Design and LEED Certification, which prepares students for LEED concepts. Loyola does not tie the degree to Maryland contractor licensing.
