CIM Executive MBA Program

INTRODUCTION

The current CIM Program is a joint initiative between member institutions and the concrete industry. It provides students the opportunity to enter an industry that has a need for professionals with the skills to meet the growing demands of a progressive, changing concrete industry. This broad education enables graduates to select a career path in virtually every aspect of the concrete industry. The mission of the CIM program is to furnish the concrete industry with its future leaders.
The need for such a program was first recognized in 1994. What resulted was a highly successful partnership between the concrete industry and Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) to develop the CIM program. The great success of the MTSU program coupled with the continued need for industry-educated graduates over the past five years has brought about the expansion of the CIM program to Arizona State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, California State University - Chico and Texas State University - San Marcos. Since the programs initial graduating class in 2000 there have been 450 graduates. Most impressively nearly 80% of those graduates have remained in the industry. The NSC is considering next steps in continuing to advance the program. One distinct possibility is to develop and launch a unique world class executive MBA in CIM.
