Program Information

Master of Construction Management (MCM) or Master of Science in Construction Management (MSCM):

The M.E. Rinker Sr. School of Construction Management offers courses leading to the degrees of MSCM (30 credit hours with a thesis) and MCM (36 credit hours without a thesis). Specialization areas include sustainable construction, information systems and automation, industrialized construction, energy and life cycle modeling, materials science, project management, safety and health, affordable housing, and construction law. Requirements for the MSCM and MCM degrees are given in the Graduate Degrees section of this catalog.

To be eligible for admission to the MSCM or MCM programs, a student must hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university with an acceptable grade point average, as well as an acceptable score on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).  Students with undergraduate credentials outside the Construction Management area may need a longer residence for the MCM and MSCM programs, as they will be required to take specified basic courses to provide a foundation for advanced courses. There is no foreign language requirement. International students from countries where English is not the official language must submit an acceptable score on one of the following: TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language: paper=560, web=84 with 21 in each section), IELTS (International English Language Testing System: 6.5), MELAB (Michigan English Language Assessment Battery: 80 with a 3 on the Speaking Test), or successful completion of the UF English Language Institute program.

No more than 3 credits of BCN 6971 (Master’s Research) may be used to satisfy the credit requirements for the MSCM degree without written permission of the director of the graduate programs.
