Construction Management

Master of Construction Management (M.C.M.) or Master of Science in Construction Management (M.S.C.M.):

The M.E. Rinker Sr. School of Construction Management offers courses leading to the degrees of M.S.C.M. (thesis required) and M.C.M. (non-thesis). Specialization areas are listed on the school’s webpage, https://dcp.ufl.edu/rinker/research-fields/. Requirements for the M.S.C.M. and M.C.M. degrees are given in the Graduate Degrees section of this catalog.

To be eligible for admission to the M.S.C.M. or M.C.M. 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 (G.R.E.) for M.S.C.M. applicants. 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), or successful completion of the UF English Language Institute program.

Combination Degree: The college participates in a combination degree program between a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management and a Master of Science in Construction Management. Please consult the academic unit for more information or if interested in participating in this program.
