Entry requirements

Ph.D. with a major in Mass Communication The Ph.D. degree is a research degree. The program’s “mix and match” coursework structure allows students to develop their own customizable degree plans, with only six required core courses and a wide range of electives available across the college’s four departments. Degree plans culminate with a capstone project, completed over at least two semesters and supervised by a graduate faculty committee. For more information, please see the program’s website: https://onlinemasters.jou.ufl.edu/web-design/ For more help with any of our graduate degree programs, please refer to our website: https://www.jou.ufl.edu/graduate/ Combination Degrees: The College of Journalism and Communications offers a robust Combination Degree program that is open to undergraduate students from any major who meet the program’s admission criteria. For more information, please 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.
