1 CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT 1. Which schools currently offer accredited programs in construction management? 2. Who should our targeted students be? 3. What are sample courses in construction management? 1

2 Construction Managers 1. Construction: processes, equipment, materials, safety, regulations 2. Management: resource/cost control, contracts, proposals, bid/estimate preparation, supervision 3. Course Work: construction, accounting, communication, law, physics, geology, math, technical writing 4. Skills: leadership, problem-solving, accountability 2

3 Accredited U.S. Programs in Construction Management 57 Bachelor s Degree Programs 9 Associate s Degree Programs ACCE = American Council for Construction Education 3

4 Accredited Florida Programs in Construction Management * Univ. North Florida * Univ. of Florida * Florida International Univ. 4

5 Curricular Options to Consider Based on Student Educational Preparation 1. A.S. to B.S. Program A.S. in Construction Management Technology from MCC (or any other accredited college) + B.S. in Technology with Concentration in Construction Management from USF-SM A.A. to B.S. Program A.A. from MCC taking suggested curriculum + B.S. in Construction Management from USF-SM 3. Transfer Program Attend USF Tampa Campus for 2 years (or any other accredited institution) taking specified course work and then transfer to USF Sarasota-Manatee Campus 4. Certificate Program For students of any educational level. Take sequence of courses to qualify for certificate. 5

6 Program Students Targeted Advantages Disadvantages A.S. to B.S. High school students interested in quickest job opportunities Marketable job skills after 2 years Costs more in tuition dollars and time than 2+2, if bachelor's degree is ultimate goal Community college graduates with A.S. in Construction Management Advancement opportunities after earn B.S.; higher skill level 2+2 A.A. to B.S. High school students interested in four-year college degree Less time in classes and lower cost than A.S. to B.S. route After first 2 years of 2+2 program, unable to compete for A.S. level jobs in construction management Eligible for higherpaying, starting jobs with B.S. as compared to A.S. Transfer Students with 60 semester hours at USF campus or college/univ without construction management Two college campus experiences while pursuing major of interest Without careful course planning, could end up having courses from the first two years that apply as electives only Certificate Any educational level Meet community needs with flexible scheduling No degree 6

7 Question for Construction Management Leaders Can the advantages of a bachelor s degree in construction management versus an associate s degree versus a certificate be quantified? In terms of... Hiring Salary Advancement Licensure/Certification Requirements Public Perception 7
