North American FM Education Guide
The IFMA Foundation is proud to present the first edition of the North American FM Education Guide, a compilation of information on academic institutions that offer facility management programs. The intent of the guide is to serve as a reference book for facility management stakeholders and to bridge the information gap between facility educators, students and industry professionals.
North American FM Education Guide Goals:
- Provide an exchange of information and experiences among students, educational institutions and industry members to encourage networking and communication between universities and industries.
- Develop a reference publication that details the course of study for students, educators and practitioners of existing Facility Management education programs.
- Help identify standards for facility management curricula
- Assist universities and professional organizations in the creation of a document that can be used:
- As a recruiting tool
- To advance research interests through shared information on common projects
- As a one-stop reference guide which summarizes contact information for each institution
