Entry requirements

The Major in Sustainable Construction inside of a Master of Science in Construction Management degree will prepare students to effectively contribute to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a high performance-built environment comprised of green, energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy systems, and efficient infrastructure. The resulting degree awarded upon successful completion of the program will be a Master of Science in Construction Management (thesis) with a Major in Sustainable Construction. University-wide graduate admission (not specific to this programme): application through the UF graduate application; official GRE scores are required by most programmes (GMAT for MBA applicants), per programme; transcripts, a CV or resume and letters of recommendation where the programme requires them.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Graduate applicants apply through the UF graduate school application on CollegeNET and pay a $30 non-refundable application fee; the Office of Admissions does not offer an application fee waiver. Deadlines vary by department. Most applicants must submit GRE scores, all MBA applicants must submit GMAT scores, and some engineering programmes accept the Fundamentals of Engineering exam instead of the GRE.
