Alternate Cycle of Study*
The Alternate Cycle for completing a degree in Building Construction is designed for students who enter the program from another department or college/university. The Alternate Cycle is recommended to help reduce the number of additional semesters needed to graduate from Building Construction. It is possible for a student to graduate in two and a half years plus the first summer sessions if they come into VT with above courses completed.
