In a few weeks, Michael Brands will graduate from the University of Nebraska at Kearney with a bachelor’s degree in construction management.
Instead of scrambling to find a full-time job, he’s focused on planning his upcoming wedding. The UNK senior already accepted a position with a construction company in Rapid City, South Dakota.
More than 80 students are currently studying construction management at UNK, and nearly all of them will be in the same position as Brands. The program boasts a 100% job placement rate, with most students receiving an employment offer, or multiple offers, before graduation.
