Welcome to the Graduate School at the
University of North Florida!

Here at UNF we seek to attract students who have the potential to excel in their chosen degree paths, to enable faculty to do the cutting edge research that enlivens and informs advanced education, and to ensure that our programs are relevant to our students' lives and to the communities we serve.

What makes graduate education at UNF so attractive, particularly to those living in northeast Florida?

(1) The vast majority of our 30 master's and doctoral programs are squarely focused on the student's eventual career and a high quality job.
(2) Students coming out of many of our programs are actively courted for jobs, and some of our programs lead to starting salaries of over $100,000.
(3) UNF is a not-for-profit, state university that has one of the lowest in-state tuition rates in the nation.
(4) A UNF graduate degree is the most respected credential available in northeast Florida.

Every member of the UNF Graduate Faculty has an earned doctorate — some from the most prestigious universities in the world — and each is an active scholar, bringing students into research in the most up-to-date work being done.

We believe there is no place like this for advanced study. With many programs having small populations of students and small class sizes, we deliver the individualized attention that is at the heart of UNF's academic mission and at the core of what we mean when we say that there is no one like you.

I invite you to see what we're all about and to see how we can provide an opportunity for you to further your education beyond the ordinary.

Dean of the Graduate School
