The Anatomical Sciences Education graduate program offers the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The faculty for this program is drawn from these disciplines:

  • Anatomy
  • Education

For the Ph.D. program, applicants must meet the minimum requirements for the University of Florida Graduate School:  Junior/Senior GPA > 3.0 and a score on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) a minimum score of 300 for the current scale.  No GRE is required for the MA program.  For both the MS and the PhD program, the student will submit a minimum of three letters of reference, a statement of purpose, and a resume, which the admissions committee will use to assess the student’s qualifications for admission to the program. International students must comply with current UF standards for admission to the Graduate School, including requirements for English language competency and financial responsibility.
