Soil and Water Science Combined BS/MS Program
Undergraduate Coordinator: Mary Collins (mec@ufl.edu)
Graduate Coordinator: Jim Jawitz (jawitz@ufl.edu)
Students may be interested in the combined degree program offered by the Soil and Water Science Department. This program was created by the University to provide academically talented students an opportunity to complete a bachelor's and a master's degree in a shorter period of time. This program allows students to double-count graduate courses for both degrees, thus reducing the time it would normally take by a semester or more. Most combined degree programs produce a savings of up to 12 semester hours. For more information see the Undergraduate Catalog or print the Combined Degree Form.
-
Student must be a current Soil and Water Science or related major
- Student should make formal application for admission to graduate school either
at the end of the junior year or first semester of the senior year. Acceptance
criteria are a minimum 3.2 GPA and a combined GRE score (verbal +
quantitative) of at least 1100.
- Submit concurrent application to the Combined Degree program
- If admitted, student registers for up to 12 credits of SOS 5000+ level courses in the senior year (classification "4AG") and forms the Supervisory Committee for graduate school
- During first semester following award of the BS degree, Combined Degree coursework (12 credits, grade B or better) will be transferred to count towards graduate degree, thereby reducing time to complete the Master's by a semester or more.
Important Note: the Department will officially admit each student for the
term following awarding of the BS degree. During their senior year
students are not eligible to receive graduate assistantship or fellowship funding
(these students are not considered graduate students). |
