We only accept students into the master's program under exceptional conditions. Our institution does not offer distinct master's-level courses. Both master's and Ph.D. candidates enroll in identical coursework, which is designed to equip students for academic research and instruction. Unlike programs that differentiate between master's and doctoral curricula, our courses maintain a consistent research-oriented approach rather than emphasizing practical applications. Furthermore, financial assistance is exclusively provided to those entering the Ph.D. program.
Completion of the M.A. degree, whether thesis-based or non-thesis, mandates a minimum of 36 course credits.
Students must have a recognized baccalaureate, graduate or professional degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution or a comparable degree from an international institution. For applicants with a bachelor’s degree only, a minimum grade point average of B (3.0), calculated from all grades and credits after the semester where the applicant reached 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours and Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores that are acceptable to the applicant’s intended academic unit or, for select programs, at least 465 on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).
For applicants from countries (including Puerto Rico) where English is not the official language, a minimum score on one of these English Language Skills tests: Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL): 550 paper, or 80 Internet; International English Language Testing System (IELTS): 6; Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB): 77, or documented successful completion of the University of Florida English Language Institute program.
