Graduate Admission Requirements

The University of Florida does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, national or ethnic origin, religious preference, disability or sex in any aspects of its operations.

There are no application deadlines. However, we do ask that prospective students apply 2-3 months before the term they are seeking admission. This is especially important for international students because visa arrangements are time-sensitive.

Graduate School of the University of Florida requires that applicants score 1000 or better on the verbal and quantitative sections of the GRE. An average grade of "B" is required for all upper division undergraduate studies. International students must score a 213 or better on the TOEFL, or 550 on the paper and pencil version of the test.
