Study Abroad
Dubai
Study international construction and engineering project management in one of the most dynamic, multicultural cities in the world: Dubai.
Dubai is known for its rapid growth and incredible development ambition. It is home to the world’s tallest building (Burj Khalifa), the world’s largest Mall (Dubai Mall), the Palm Islands, and numerous other noteworthy developments.
The country continues rapid development, and students will have the opportunity to visit and explore active construction projects while studying the differences between US construction activity and international practices.
Students will also study engineering project management and evaluate different philosophies for project delivery in a multicultural climate while also enjoying the sites and culture of the United Arab Emirates. Students will interact with numerous professionals from diverse cultural backgrounds. Tours will enhance the in-class learning with visits to the Burj Khalifa, Abu Dhabi, and neighboring Emirates, Mosques, and other landmarks. Students will explore wadis and experience traditional souqs, dhow cruises, Emirati and Middle Eastern culture and cuisine, and desert safaris.
Students will stay in triple accommodations in local hotels within the city with convenient access to numerous sites. Breakfast is included daily, and lunch/dinner is available depending on the daily schedule.
