Our Education
Masters Program
Designed to provide students the necessary skills to obtain positions within the private and government research sectors as well as provide the background necessary for entry into competitive Ph.D. or other professional school (MD, DVM, DDS, etc) programs.
Ph.D. Program
Designed both to provide students with fundamental graduate-level training and to provide flexibility in tailoring a course of studies to fit with a student’s research interests. Students joining the Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences with a concentration in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) are given maximum flexibility to pursue a wide-range of research and curriculum opportunities.
Courses
We offer a diverse range of undergraduate and graduate level courses.
Distance Education
Distance learning courses are offered to UF students in online degree programs, MS and BS, or non-degree seeking students and are delivered online. These courses can be taken for undergraduate or graduate credit and require a non-degree application. Our courses follow a traditional UF semester calendar. Students receive a transcript awarding undergraduate or graduate credit.
