Application information

Entry requirements

The Master of Arts in Digital Arts & Sciences (DAS) degree seeks to allow students from diverse academic backgrounds the opportunity to develop fluency in the technologies, design practices and collaborative interdisciplinary teamwork increasingly required by the media, communications and entertainment industries. Graduates holding the M.A. in DAS degree would typically seek employment in the creative services sector, applying digital techniques and technologies in a variety of professions. Although this is a thesis degree, students usually produce a creative project in lieu of thesis. Students seeking admission are expected to have an undergraduate background including: A degree in one of the fine arts or liberal arts A body of work that demonstrates accomplishment in the intended area A body of work that can clearly be enhanced with skills to be acquired in the DAS program. In addition 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.
