Course Information

The physical assets of an organization are typically one of its largest financial holdings, and the strategic planning, development, and maintenance of these assets are critical to an organization’s financial health and stability. Facility managers need to be knowledgeable about business management, strategic planning, interior and architectural design, construction management, information technology, real estate, engineering, labor relations, and quality of life aspects in the work environment. It’s a broad-based field that requires individuals to have breadth and depth in their education and, eventually, their work experience. The facility management program prepares graduates to work in a management capacity where they will oversee the operations, planning, and maintenance of facilities. Graduates will be able to intelligently communicate facility issues with corporate officers, customers, contractors, vendors, and employees. RIT’s master of science degree in facility management was developed by a panel of experienced facility management professionals and designed to provide students with a solid foundation in both the technical and managerial aspects of the field. The curriculum was developed using educational standards established by the International Facility Management Association.
