Entry requirements

Combined, these programs offer seven degree options (including two professional master's degrees), as well as concentrations and certificates in a wide range of specific areas. The School’s program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences leads to the Master of Science, Master of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (non-thesis), and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Minimum requirements for these degrees are given in the Graduate Degrees section of this catalog. The Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences program also offers a combination bachelor’s/master’s degree program. Further information, including specific degree options, faculty biographies, and admissions process details, is available at https://ffgs.ifas.ufl.edu . 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.
