About CIM
Receiving tremendous support from the concrete industry, the CIM program was the first of its kind in the United States – a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Concrete Industry Management. The need for such a program was identified in 1994 and was put into action by the concrete industry. The end result was a partnership between the concrete industry and Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) to develop the CIM program, implementing it with its first two students in 1996. Available at MTSU, California State University – Chico, New Jersey Institute of Technology, South Dakota State University and Texas State University, the program has been successful for both the industry and graduates. An Executive MBA Program in CIM is also offered through MTSU.
