The quality of work life and cost effectiveness of the organization’s environment are the goals of the facility manager.

Wentworth students in the BSFM program benefit from curriculum taught by industry experts and aligned with the International Facilities Management Association (IFMA). Eligible applicants can transfer up to 80 credits into the program from prior education and professional experience.
