Entry requirements

These programs offer seven different degree options (including two professional masters degrees), as well as concentrations and certificates in a diversity of specific areas. Minimum requirements for these degrees are given in the Graduate Degrees section of this catalog. The SFFGS offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Forest Resources and Conservation (professional, non-thesis), Master of Science (thesis and non-thesis), and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Forest Resources and Conservation. The Master of Science non-thesis degree may be taken entirely online. Minimum requirements for these degrees are given in the Graduate Degrees section of this catalog. Further information, including specific degree options, faculty biographies, and information on the admissions process, 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.
