Introduction
Owning a home or a business has been part of the American Dream since the country's founding. But residences and office parks don't build themselves. At MTSU, students learn the wide range of skills it takes to help provide the homes, communities, office buildings, and other construction projects that are the literal foundation of the American Dream.
