Addressing the necessity of aligning educational programs with current industry and academic needs, the review process involved extensive stakeholder engagement, industry consultation, and curriculum realignment with updated accreditation standards. It identifies key changes made to the program, including the introduction of flexible emphasis tracks, the integration of cross-cutting curricular themes, and adjustments to program course offerings to enhance students' educational experiences. These strategic updates aim to equip students with relevant skills for current and future industry demands, demonstrating a proactive approach to curriculum development in higher education.Keyphrases: accreditation, construction management education, curriculum, program reviews In: Tom Leathem, Wes Collins and Anthony Perrenoud (editors).
