Two-year completion program prepares working professionals to lead in a growing industry

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunwoody College of Technology is launching a fully online Bachelor of Science Completion Degree in Facilities Management, beginning in Fall 2026. Designed for working professionals and career changers, the program offers a flexible, two-year pathway to advance education without pausing employment.

Facilities managers play a critical role in ensuring buildings, infrastructure, and operations run smoothly, safely and cost-effectively. This multidisciplinary program blends technical knowledge with business and leadership skills, preparing graduates to work in sectors such as healthcare, education, industrial and government.

"The facilities management field is projected to grow by 6 percent over the next eight years," said Heather Stafford, Associate Dean of Construction Sciences & Building Technology. "This program reflects Dunwoody's commitment to delivering high-value education that meets industry needs. Our graduates will be ready to lead projects that directly impact efficiency, safety, and sustainability."

Students will learn to oversee the operation and maintenance of buildings, grounds, and infrastructure while developing operational strategies and budgets for facility needs. They will be trained to apply quality, safety, and sustainability practices, lead teams, resolve workplace conflicts, and integrate energy-efficient and environmentally responsible solutions into their work.

The program is entirely online and can be completed in four semesters with 90 credits. Coursework includes Construction Planning and Scheduling, Strategic Planning, Construction Accounting, Estimating, and Negotiation and Conflict Resolution. Eligible applicants can transfer in credits from a two-year degree in construction, electrical, HVAC, welding, or surveying.

Graduates will enter a growing field with diverse career opportunities and will join Dunwoody's extensive alumni network — known for hands-on expertise and problem-solving skills — giving them a competitive advantage in the job market.
