Entry requirements

The M.Ed./Ed.S. and M.AE./Ed.S. program in Mental Health Counseling is designed to equip students with the pre-professional competencies required for Registered Intern status and, after a minimum number of years of post-degree supervised clinical experience, licensure in the State of Florida as Mental Health Counselors and clinical membership in NBCC’s Academy of Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselors. University-wide graduate admission (not specific to this programme): application through the UF graduate application; official GRE scores are required by most programmes (GMAT for MBA applicants), per programme; transcripts, a CV or resume and letters of recommendation where the programme requires them.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Graduate applicants apply through the UF graduate school application on CollegeNET and pay a $30 non-refundable application fee; the Office of Admissions does not offer an application fee waiver. Deadlines vary by department. Most applicants must submit GRE scores, all MBA applicants must submit GMAT scores, and some engineering programmes accept the Fundamentals of Engineering exam instead of the GRE.
