Use ISIS to explore requirements for majors and degrees. This service is available to transfer applicants and to currently enrolled students. You can explore majors by subject area, by college or by major. You also can use ISIS to degree shop to find out if any course work you have already taken applies toward a particular major's requirements. If you need additional information, you can also contact the department offering the degree or the advising office of the appropriate college.

UF's majors are listed around interest areas and career options. Choose an area or interest to discover the variety of majors offered in that area. This list does not include all the specializations within each major.

Each major also lists its college. The abbreviations for each college are explained at the end of this page.

Combined Bachelor's/Master Degree Programs

Undergraduate students who wish to enroll in graduate-level courses for a master's degree have an opportunity to do so through UF's combined-degree program. Students, with approval, can apply 12 credit hours of graduate course work toward their undergraduate program, reducing the cost of both degrees and enhancing their marketability for career advancement.

Students who meet the combined-degree application requirements can enroll in graduate courses during their junior and senior years. These credits will satisfy the undergraduate degree requirements and, if the student is admitted to graduate school at UF, the 12 credits also will satisfy graduate degree requirements. The program requires an 1100 GRE score (GRE may be higher for some programs).

There are also several special accelerated program opportunities:
1. Master of Agribusiness
2. Doctor of Pharmacy and Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Sciences
3. Junior Honors Medical Program
4. College of Dentistry's Early Admission Program
5. Master of Public Health
6. Master of Science in Management
