The Osprey Map provides a term-by-term sample schedule for each undergraduate academic program at the 老澳门资料. 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 with a Concentration in Residential Construction 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.
