NOTE: Due to current admission examination testing difficulties amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Research and Evaluation Methodology program, in sync with the UF Graduate School, is waiving the GRE requirement for MASTERS applicants seeking Fall 2020, Spring 2021, Summer A/B/C 2021, or Fall 2021 admission. This temporary emergency waiver applies only to admission for those four semesters. However, our college is still requiring GRE scores for all PhD degree program applicants for those four semesters. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Applicants to the Ph.D. program should contact Angela Rowe for their inquiries. If you have questions about the Master’s degree application process, please e-mail GradAdmissions@coe.ufl.edu.
