The Osprey Map provides a term-by-term sample schedule for each undergraduate academic program at the University of North Florida. It is designed to guide students in the selection of courses each term. The "Mile Marker" courses are those courses that should be completed before or by the end of that term. Following the sample schedule, and completing the mile marker courses at the appropriate point of your undergraduate career, will facilitate graduation in four years. The term-by-term model assumes full-time enrollment. For students enrolled part-time, the sample schedule and mile markers should be followed based on the number of credits completed. The Osprey Map should be used in consultation with an academic advisor.
The Building Construction major offers a management-oriented, technical curriculum that prepares students for a variety of positions in the construction industry. This program is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education and ABET and provides its graduates with the well-rounded education needed to be a future leader in the construction industry.
Career Planning
Engaging in career planning activities is significant to student success. UNF offers customized career centers to deliver targeted programs, events, services and resources. First-Year and Exploratory students should visit the Career Services webpage and Sophomore or higher level students with a declared CCEC major should visit the CCEC Career Development Center.
Students should refer to their personalized Degree Evaluation provided by an academic advisor and to other university resources for additional university and college-specific policies. Visit the undergraduate university catalog for more information.
Summer terms may be utilized to facilitate graduation in four years.
- Visit the university catalog for a list of General Education requirements. An Associate in Arts (AA) degree from a Florida public university, state college or community college satisfies UNF general education and Gordon Rule requirements. Math selection is contingent upon appropriate placement score, the student's major and/or credit received through accelerated mechanisms (Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, Dual Enrollment, etc).
- Visit the Department of Construction Management webpage for a complete list of prerequisites. For additional information visit the College of Computing, Engineering and Construction Advising Office webpage.
- MAC1147 Precalculus is not a program prerequisite, but it is required prior to registering for PHY2053/2053L Algebra Based Physics with lab. Students may take College Algebra and Trigonometry (MAC1105 and MAC1114) as a substitute for MAC1147 Precalculus. Building Construction courses (BCN course prefix) are typically only offered in the terms they appear on the Osprey Map. Students may substitute an additional BCN Elective Course for BCN4944 Construction Management Internship with approval of the department. Summer course offerings are determined by student demand, funding and faculty availability.
- The Building Construction major includes an optional Minor in Business Administration. Courses required for the Business Administration Minor are listed on the Osprey Map.
- Civic Literacy Requirement: Prior to graduation from a Florida state university, students must demonstrate competency in civic literacy through successful completion of a civic literacy course (AMH 2020 or POS 2041) and by achieving a passing score on an assessment. Consult an academic advisor, the university catalog and visit the Civic Literacy webpage for additional information.
- A minimum of 120 hours (48 hours at the upper 3000/4000 level) is required for the bachelors degree. The major in Building Construction requires 120 hours.
