Construction

I chose MSU Denver because of the culture it presented to a young girl trying to figure out her entire future at the age of 17. I felt as if MSU Denver provided the most support, not only through an affordable tuition, but through the resources available to students. I went into engineering because I was fascinated with the idea of creating something. I chose construction because in my eyes, there is nothing more rewarding than having the opportunity to help build great structures that every type of person in society uses at some point.

The construction industry is exciting as no day is ever the same and there are always problems that are needing to be solved. You get to work with people every day and incorporate math and engineering skills that you learn in the classroom. Job security is important to me and Colorado, and Denver in particular is expanding rapidly and in need of construction professionals. MSU Denver is affordable and offers classes that work with my schedule. There are student organizations that help strengthen networks and ample opportunities for scholarships.
