The core curriculum focuses on understanding the construction management process through a foundation of technical, managerial, and business courses. The Rinker School of Construction Management prepares students with the professional capabilities to plan, direct, and coordinate activities involved with the construction and maintenance of structures, facilities, and systems. Graduates are typically employed by general contractors, developers, home builders, heavy construction industry (oil, petrochemical, paper), and service industries (bank, mortgage company). The Rinker School is housed in Rinker Hall, the first LEED-certified building on the UF campus and the 26th in Florida. Construction management students will receive hands-on experience through in-class labs in the Charles R. Perry Construction Yard and volunteering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dcp.ufl.edu\/rinker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2026\/03\/High-School-to-project-manager-flow-chart.UF_.docx\">Career Paths<\/a> for Bachelor degree students graduating from the Rinker School<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contact\">Contact:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sallie Schattner<br>Admissions Officer II<br>M.E.
