Entry requirements

The Ph.D. degree program in Nutritional Sciences is interdisciplinary, with participating CALS, COM, CLAS, and CVM faculty directing research of doctoral students, where the full spectrum of Nutritional Sciences is available. Students are admitted to the program after the bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree in nutritional sciences or a related field. 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.
