BLCON-AA
Primary Advisor Terri Bedford ext.2868
PROGRAM GOAL: The purpose of this program is to provide students the opportunity to gain knowledge in the disciplines necessary for a career in building construction. The program is designed to meet the first two years of preparation for a four-year degree based on the program offered at the University of Florida. Students should make contact as soon as possible with the school they plan to attend to make any program adjustments needed and to become familiar with the admissions requirements of that particular university. Other programs are offered at the University of West Florida and the University of North Florida.
A four year degree could lead to self-employment in the construction field; contract work for a government agency or private business; or employment by a private construction firm or government agency. Individuals are required to pass a state exam and meet all state licensing requirements to become a licensed contractor.
It is recommended that students who do not show competence in word processing and spreadsheets take CGS 1570 Microcomputer Applications. Competencies in these areas will be tested at the University of Florida. Students should check with the adviser to investigate other courses that may be taken to facilitate the transfer to the university of their choice. (The University of Florida requires SUR 2101, BUL 2241 (Business Law).) Students are strongly advised to take ETC 2502 Statics and ETC 2530 Strength of Materials at the community college level, but these courses may be taken as 2-hour courses at the University of Florida in the summer prior to entering the upper division in the fall semester. Students should set their goals to enter the upper division program in the fall semester in order to get the correct sequence of courses at the university.
