Since its inception in 1963, the university's diverse colleges and schools have helped ensure UCF's prominent role as an outstanding graduate and research institution. With new programs, tracks and certificates constantly being created, the opportunities for a high-quality graduate education are endless.

Burnett College of Biomedical Sciences

This is an exciting time for Biomedical Sciences at UCF with the recent establishment of the Burnett College of Biomedical Sciences aided by the generous support from the Burnetts.

The mission of this college is to build nationally recognized research and education programs in this field.

The major discoveries of the second half of the twentieth century are sure to revolutionize the practices in medicine, agriculture and industry in general in the first half of the twenty-first century. This truly may become the "Century of Biology." To fully participate in these unprecedented advances, UCF's College of Biomedical Sciences will hire 34 new faculty members over the next five years.

Construction of a new 103,000-square-foot Burnett Biomedical Science building is expected to start shortly to provide a contiguous space for the biomedical sciences researchers to optimize synergistic interactions and the use of shared core equipment and facilities.

In addition, the College is forming active partnerships with other units such as the College of Optics and Photonics and the Nanoscience Technology Center to build interdisciplinary research and education programs in the innovative applications of photonics and nanoscience to biomedical problems. Faculty members in the College are engaged in research at the cutting edge to find solutions to major biomedical problems.

The College recently updated its undergraduate curriculum to better prepare students for health professions and graduate studies in biomedical sciences. The College also provides pre-health advisement for UCF students to prepare them for entry into health professional schools.

The College has revised the M.S. program in Molecular Biology and Microbiology. The Medical Laboratory Science Program prepares tomorrow's medical laboratory technologists. The College has initiated an accelerated BS/MS program in biotechnology to help provide a skilled workforce for the emerging biotechnology industry. The interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Biomolecular Science prepares tomorrow's biomedical scientists.

The College is committed to excellence in undergraduate and graduate education and to building innovative interdisciplinary research programs to discover solutions for important biomedical problems and to provide a highly creative environment to foster its educational programs.

Admission to Graduate Programs

Burnett College of Biomedical Science requires that you fill out a pre-application form before you complete the application for graduate admission. Based upon the pre-application information, selected students will be invited to submit the university's online application for admission to graduate study.

In addition to meeting the minimum university admission requirewments, each applicant is required to satisfy college and department admission requirements. Specific department requirements are listed in respective departmental sections. Meeting the minimum admissions requirements does not automatically guarantee admission, as enrollment may be restricted by limited college or department resources. Supplemental information such as research/goal statements, resumes, work or internship experience may be considered by the graduate program directors in making admissions decisions. The college strongly encourages applications from minority and diverse populations, however race, national origin and gender are not used in the evaluation of students for admission into graduate and professional programs.

College of Arts and Sciences

The College of Arts and Sciences consists of eighteen academic departments, which offer graduate degrees from sixteen programs: Art, Biology, Chemistry, Communication, English, Film and Digital Media, Foreign Languages and Literatures, Forensic Sciences, History, Liberal Studies, Mathematics, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology, Statistics, and Theatre. In addition to these departments, the college also supports interdisciplinary progams in Biomolecular Science and Modeling and Simulation.

The mission of the Graduate Studies Office in the College of Arts and Sciences is to assist the departments and programs of the college in providing high quality graduate education and achieving international prominence in key areas of graduate study. In providing this assistance, the office serves to coordinate graduate activities among the departments, promote an internationally diverse community of graduate students and faculty, enhance graduate recruitment and retention, and encourage, stimulate, and maintain excellence in scholastic achievement.

The office serves the needs of students by providing friendly, easily accessible support and advisement, and by assisting with record keeping, registration, and graduation. It supports the academic development of students and faculty by providing appropriate resources, encouraging scholarly and creative activities, and promoting quality graduate education and research facilities. It also supports the establishment and development of new and competitive graduate programs by serving as a responsive source of information for students, faculty, and staff, by encouraging increases in the number and quality of graduates, and by serving as a liaison between the programs and the university's Division of Graduate Studies.

The office assists students in matters concerning college and university requirements and procedures. Students should address questions concerning admission materials, acceptance notification, program of study, graduate committee membership, thesis and dissertation approvals, fellowship and financial information, waiver and petition forms, and graduate certifications to their respective department; however these items are processed through this office for all graduate students in the college. Questions concerning university and college graduate policies affecting Arts and Sciences majors should be directed to the Graduate Studies Office in the College of Arts and Sciences Dean's Office, CAS 190K, or by calling (407) 823-5167.

General Requirements

The course work and research requirements of the programs are designed with the intent of offering students the opportunity for educational advancement and professional training. A research report, thesis, or dissertation is required in most of the programs and is an option in others. The General Graduate Record Examination is required for admissions consideration in all graduate programs. Admission to graduate programs is based upon university and departmental criteria, which may include factors such as work or internship experience, community service, research interests of prospective students, or personal interviews. The college strongly encourages applications from minority and diverse populations. Race, national origin, and gender are not used in the evaluation of students for admission into graduate and professional programs.

Each department is headed by a chair who reports to the dean of the college. A graduate program director within each department is designated for each graduate program and can provide advice on questions about admission and degree requirements. Consult the individual degree program listings for detailed descriptions of admission requirements, degree requirements, and courses.

Admission to Master's Programs

Before candidates will be considered for admission, all required application documents—application, official transcripts, GMAT test score (or GRE test score can be used for the programs in Applied Economics, MSM, and MSMIS only), essays, a resume, and three recommendations—must be received in the offices of UCF Graduate Studies by the admission deadline. MSA and MST do not require essays or recommendation letters. Admission to graduate study in the College of Business Administration is open to individuals with a baccalaureate degree in any discipline from a regionally accredited college or university. Thus, all graduate programs are open to graduates in education, engineering, arts, sciences, and other fields as well as business. The college strongly encourages applications from minority and diverse populations. Race, national origin, and gender are not used in the evaluation of students for admission into graduate and professional programs.

Admissions are restricted each semester to individuals showing high promise of success in postgraduate studies. Admission criteria include academic achievement as an upper-division undergraduate student and satisfactory performance on the GMAT. For the M.A. in Applied Economics, the MSM, and the MSMIS degrees only, scores on either the GRE or GMAT may be submitted. Both GMAT and GRE scores have a limit of 5 years. Other indicators of promise include the applicant's extracurricular activities, work experience and job responsibilities, and leadership experience. Foreign students whose native language is not English are required to achieve a score of at least 233 (computer-based test; or equivalent score on the paper-based test) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The Test of Spoken English (TSE) may be required if deemed necessary by faculty recommendation. All foreign transcripts must be evaluated by an acceptable agency for bachelor degree equivalency.

Enrollment in graduate courses in the College of Business Administration is limited to students who have been accepted and classified with regular graduate status in the M.B.A. program, Master of Sport Business Management, M.S. in Management Information Systems, M.S. in Accounting, M.S. in Taxation, M.S. in Management, or M.A. in Applied Economics, and to other students with regular graduate status elsewhere in the university. Graduate-level courses may not be taken unless a student is accepted into a graduate program.

An applicant will not be considered for admission to any graduate program until an official score on the GMAT or GRE (and TOEFL, if appropriate) has been received in addition to transcripts showing proof of attainment of the bachelor's degree and transcripts from all colleges attended.

Academic Standards

Regularly admitted graduate students in the College of Business Administration must maintain an overall 3.0 GPA in both their program of study and any graduate or undergraduate foundation core courses. In the event this is not maintained, a graduate student shall be placed in an academic provisional status. If a 3.0 GPA (grades of "B" or better) is then not obtained in the subsequent nine semester hours of course work, the graduate student will be disqualified from the program. Students in all graduate programs must achieve a minimum grade of "C" in all foundation and professional core courses. Further, if graduate students accumulate grades of "C" or lower or unresolved "I" grades in more than three foundation core courses, they will be disqualified from the program. If graduate students accumulate more than six hours of "C" or lower and/or unresolved "I" grades on course work in the professional core, then they will be disqualified from the graduate program. Grade forgiveness policy does not apply to any courses (graduate or undergraduate) taken by graduate students in the College of Business Administration.

College of Education

Graduate programs in the College of Education are provided for students who have completed at least baccalaureate degrees. Both degree and non-degree programs may be planned for people in education-related positions in social and government agencies, business and industry, as well as for professional educators in private and public schools. Master of Education and Master of Arts degrees are awarded in many fields. Education Specialist degrees are offered in School Psychology, Curriculum and Instruction, and Educational Leadership. Doctor of Education degrees are available in Educational Leadership and Curriculum/Instruction. The Doctor of Philosophy in Education is available with six tracks: Counselor Education, Elementary Education, Exceptional Education, Hospitality Education, Instructional Technology, and Mathematics Education. All programs in the College of Education are accredited by NCATE (National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education). The School Psychology program is accredited by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP/NCATE), and Exceptional Student Education is accredited by the Council for Exceptional Education.
