On-Campus Ph.D.

We no longer require GRE scores to apply for our on-campus Ph.D. in Reading and Literacy Education.

We consider all applications after the application deadline. Typically, this is within one to two months of the deadline.

The University of Florida requires that admitted students have a minimum 3.0 GPA in their last 60 credit hours of upper-division undergraduate coursework.

A new cohort of Reading and Literacy Education On-Campus Ph.D. students begins each fall. The admissions deadline for the On-Campus Ph.D. program is generally in January of every year, to select the new cohort beginning in the following fall.

You can find the current graduate tuition and fees for the University of Florida on the Student Financial Aid and Scholarships site. 

All of our courses are dynamic. Given the relatively small size of Ph.D. cohorts and classes, our students get to know one another and their faculty well. Additionally, we hold doctoral student meetings and socials every semester to help foster a community of scholars among the students and faculty. Students regularly research, publish and present with faculty and one another.

The University of Florida does not provide an application fee waiver, and neither does the program nor the College of Education. Additionally, if your application is not considered because the application deadline is passed, UF will not issue you a refund for the application fee. It is important to know the application deadlines for the intended major. If you are applying to more than one program, you must complete an application for each program and pay the non-refundable application fee.
