Application information

Entry requirements

The School offers a program of study leading to the Master of Science (thesis and non-thesis options), and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in interdisciplinary ecology. Minimum requirements for these degrees are given in the Graduate Degrees section of this catalog. The degree program challenges students to understand both natural and human dynamics to obtain a holistic view and to foster integration of human activities with natural resources and the environment. The degree programs combine course work in the science of ecology and additional natural and social sciences; and competence in a recognized discipline in one of these fields of study. The former is achieved with a core-course and distribution requirement and the latter by extra course work for the master’s and a concentration for the doctoral degree. Course requirements are 30 semester hours for the thesis option, 30 hours for the 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.
