This program is offered at 5 schools across the country: Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), New Jersey Institute of Technology, California State University – Chico, Texas State University, and South Dakota State University.
On August 31st, 2021, South Dakota State University officially announced it is the 5th university in the Nation to offer a bachelor’s degree in Concrete Industry Management (CIM). Thor Becken, Cemstone’s President, has helped lead the initiative in implementing the program at SDSU, along with fundraising efforts and awareness throughout the 12-state North Central Region. Concrete is used more innovatively than ever before, creating an urgent need for individuals who possess both focused concrete technology skills and broad business education to move the industry forward. Students graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Concrete Industry Management will leave SDSU as concrete experts ready to fill important roles in the industry.
