by Jbs091209c3 — September 14, 2009—The International Facility Management Association (IFMA) Foundation has announced that the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) will be offering a new Facility Management Minor program beginning in 2010. The new offering will be part of the school’s Real Estate Finance and Development program in the UTSA College of Business.
“We’re very pleased that UTSA will be initiating the Facility Management Minor program in the fall of 2010,” said IFMA Foundation Director of Academic Affairs Charles Claar, P.E., CFM, CFMJ. “The private and public sectors in Texas alone need 775 new, competent facility managers each year, so this program will begin to fill a huge void that exists in Texas and nationwide. We look forward to the development of a Facility Management Major program at UTSA as soon as it can be accomplished.”
The announcement of the new program was held in conjunction with the San Antonio Chapter of IFMA’s September meeting at the UTSA campus.
