The Junction on game days
Study, study, study!
Food, family, and Jesus
I chose Building Construction Science at Mississippi State because the program has so much to offer. I felt like I could get the most out of my education by coming here to this program.
My favorite spot on campus is behind the Walker Engineering building where there is a large tree that the leaves change to bright yellow in the fall.
The first annual Forge Your Path Career Expo, held on October 30, had a goal to generate interest in the various aspects of the construction field.
I chose CAADatMSU because this program is the most unique. There is no other program like it! The studio-based curriculum gets you ready for the job after college. I also like the fact that as a building construction science major, I still have classes with architecture majors because we will have to work together in our fields.
The drill field because so much happens on the field, and you can socialize with anyone.
I chose CAADatMSU because of the hands-on type of learning. The other schools I toured all taught with online simulations, but being a hands-on learner, I felt more intrigued by the programs offered here at MSU.
My favorite spot on campus is the Drill Field. I love seeing all the buildings around the perimeter, and it’s such an open space for hanging out or studying.
I saw the different opportunities that our many programs had available. I also saw how immersive the Building Construction Science Program was. The idea of a studio instead of a lecture class for learning was a more ideal situation for me as a student.

Don’t stress about everything. It will all work out in the end.
The students are currently studying concrete and were treated to a tour at a local concrete batch plant in Starkville – Mississippi Materials Inc. (MMC).
Forty-three first-year Mississippi State University building construction science students visited Memphis, Tennessee, from Sept. 8-10, 2019.
Students went on a riverboat cruise and had some time on their own to explore during the trip. They also visited four construction sites:
Ty Crane was among the first graduating class of Mississippi State’s Building Construction Science Program, completing his degree in 2011.
Twenty-nine third-year Mississippi State University building construction science students visited Nashville, Tennessee, from Sept. 7-12, 2019.
They visited jobs sites with Brasfield and Gorrie General Contractors, Hoar Construction, Turner Construction Company and Yates Construction.
The companies showed the students the construction sites and provided insight on operations. The visit helped students to further connect what they are learning in studio – scheduling, safety procedures and estimating.
