Entry requirements

Admission is to the university and its college rather than to the major: the University's undergraduate (freshman or transfer) admission requirements apply, as published in the catalogue and at usf.edu/admissions.

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.

First-year entry terms: Fall/Summer 2027 semester start. Transfer and second bachelor's applicants can start in Spring 2027 (classes begin January 11, 2027), Summer 2027 (classes begin May 17, 2027) or Fall 2027.
