Purdue University Calumet is a regional university, and part of the internationally respected Purdue University system.  The campus is located in Hammond, Indiana, and is conveniently located just off of Interstate 80/94 less than 25 miles southeast of downtown Chicago.  Among the dozens of academic programs available at Purdue University Calumet are Bachelor of Science Degree programs in Construction Management and Engineering Technologies (CMET), and in Organizational Leadership and Supervision (OLS) with a specialization in Environmental Health and Safety (EHS).

The CMET program prepares students for successful careers in an industry that includes large general construction firms, small specialized contractors, materials suppliers, equipment manufacturers, and the design services of architects and engineers.  The wide choice of career opportunities includes estimator, field superintendent, construction scheduler, expediter, project manager, survey crew chief, materials technician, architectural draftsperson, and cost engineer.

The OLS program prepares students to perform well in their first work-related professional level positions, and to demonstrate leadership within organizations.  The area of specialization in EHS focuses on the various topics related to environmental health, safety, and wellness.  Graduates from this area are working in successful careers as safety professionals in construction, industrial, business and institutional settings.  Career opportunities include safety training manager, safety supervisor, safety coordinator, and director of safety. 

Both the CMET and OLS/EHS programs work closely with community colleges (including Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana), labor union training centers, workforce development programs, and high schools to create and maintain career pathways that assist individuals from various backgrounds in obtaining bachelor degrees in high quality academic programs.  Graduates from both programs are enjoying successful careers at companies and institutions throughout Northwest Indiana and across the nation.
