Applicants to a graduate degree program at USF must meet all university and individual degree program admission requirements to be considered. USF graduate programs are highly selective. Meeting the minimum admission requirements, both general and program-specific, does not guarantee acceptance into a program.

Most of our graduate programs follow a cohort format in which a class of students is admitted and goes through the program requirements in sequence as a group. Students have reported that completing their program requirements as part of a cohort has meant a richer learning experience and more supportive classroom environment.

Following is a list of our available programs as well as the specific start dates for those with program cohorts. Please be aware that in order to offer students the best possible graduate study experience, many of the Lakeland campus programs only admit new students for specific terms. Follow the program links below to review individual degree program admission requirements.
