HOW TO APPLY
You will need to provide the following in addition to the online application through the UF Office of Admissions:
- $30 application fee, paid to the Office of Admissions. Official transcripts of all previous academic work. Cumulative GPA of 3.0 is expected.
- Three letters of recommendation from relevant academic or employment colleagues.
- Letter of intent/statement of purpose detailing the areas you wish to study and/or your background.
- Curriculum Vitae or Resume.
- Note: GRE scores are no longer required to apply to our graduate programs and should not be included in your application.
All required documents other than transcripts may be uploaded within the online application system. Transcripts must be sent by your academic institution directly to the UF Office of Admissions. Incomplete applications will not be considered for admission, however, your graduate application will remain active in the UF system for 12 months, so if needed you may request a change in the term for which you have applied.
*Prospective students cannot be accepted, regardless of qualifications, unless a faculty member agrees to advise you.
When you submit your non-degree application, be sure you have selected one of our Special Programs from the dropdown, even if you are only taking one class. We will contact you once your application has been processed. If you have any questions, please contact ffgs-academics@ifas.ufl.edu.
