A Message from Our Dean
We welcome you to explore the many offerings of our graduate programs at the University of Florida. The reputation of a research university is, in large part, measured not only by the excellence of its graduate faculty and graduate students but, importantly, by the quality of its academic graduate programs. Through its chosen graduate faculty members, the University of Florida offers graduate programs of the highest quality.
Our catalog is intended to provide information and resources to those interested in graduate education programs at the University of Florida. Our catalog is for our current students as well to assist them to make the best decisions for maintaining and continuing their academic progress while on the way to their professional and personal goals.
Nicole Stedman, PhD
Associate Provost and Dean of the Graduate School
