The Osprey Map provides a term-by-term sample schedule for each undergraduate academic program at the University of North Florida. It is designed to guide students in the selection of courses each term. The "Mile Marker" courses in the right-hand column 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 Community Interpreting concentration offers UNF students the opportunity to pursue a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in ASL/English Interpreting from the time they enter as freshmen. The program prepares students for entry level work as signed language interpreters who work in a variety of community settings that may include education, medical, employment, and other public venues. Students may declare a major and be fully admitted to advanced coursework following successful completion of program prerequisite courses and other admission criteria. This concentration admits 30 students in the fall term. Students are not guaranteed admission and cannot take upper division courses in the major (starting in Term 5) until admitted into the program.
