1. Graduate Admissions Application

Include the following information:

College: EG

Program: Civil Engineering (CE); Coastal and Oceanographic Engineering (COA); or Environmental Engineering Sciences (EES)

Research/Specialization: A specialization is required to have your application reviewed by faculty; faculty acceptance is required for admission into a research-based degree program (thesis/dissertation).

2. Statement of Purpose

Please indicate the faculty who you are interested in working with and if you have secured any outside funding in this statement.

3. Three Letters of Recommendation

Submit recommendations ONLY through the application (no hard copies accepted).

4. 3.0 Upper-Division GPA

Applicants must provide their upper-division GPA calculation. Include all courses after 60 credit hours that were earned toward your bachelor's degree. . We recommend international applicants use the Foreign Credits, Inc. GPA Calculator.

5. Official transcripts

You must submit official transcripts from each institution that you indicate on your application to the UF Office of Admissions. As an international applicant you must submit all of your transcripts in the original language with a certified English translation and a copy of your degree/diploma in the original language with a certified English translation. All of your credentials have to be reviewed by our international admissions officer for credibility and this can take several months depending on the time of year. Upon our departmental review, if a favorable decision is reached and your official documents have not been received, we cannot process our decision. This prevents us from sending an admissions letter and processing an I20 request so we ask that you submit all official documents as part of the application process. These documents can be hard to match up when they arrive at different times so we highly recommend that you submit your application PRIOR to sending any official scores or credentials. Please work directly with the UF Office of Admissions to make sure they receive these official documents. In order to expedite your application, we also recommend that you upload your unofficial transcripts within the online application.
