INSTITUTIONAL PURPOSE

3

Institutional PurposeThe University of Florida is a public land-grant, sea-grant,

and space-grant research university, one of the most com-prehensive in the United States. The university encompasses virtually all academic and professional disciplines. It is the largest and oldest of Florida’s eleven universities and a mem-ber of the Association of American Universities. Its faculty and staff are dedicated to the common pursuit of the univer-sity’s threefold mission: teaching, research, and service.

MissionThe University of Florida belongs to a tradition of great

universities. Together with our undergraduate and graduate students, UF faculty participate in an educational process that links the history of Western Europe with the tradi-tions and cultures of all societies, explores the physical and biological universes, and nurtures generations of young people from diverse backgrounds to address the needs of our societies. The university welcomes the full exploration of its intellectual boundaries and supports its faculty and students in the creation of new knowledge and the pursuit of new ideas.

Teaching is a fundamental purpose of this university at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Research and scholarship are integral to the education process and to the expansion of our understanding of the natural world, the intellect, and the senses. Service reflects the university’s obligation to share the benefits of its research and knowledge for the public good.

These three interlocking elements span all of the universi-ty’s academic disciplines and represent the university’s com-mitment to lead and serve the State of Florida, the nation, and the world by pursuing and disseminating new knowl-edge while building upon the experiences of the past. The University of Florida aspires to advance by strengthening the human condition and improving the quality of life.

Commitment to DiversityThe University of Florida is committed to creating a

community that reflects the rich racial, cultural, and ethnic diversity of the state and nation. No challenge that exists in higher education has greater importance than the chal-lenge of enrolling students and hiring faculty and staff who are members of diverse racial, cultural, or ethnic minority groups. This pluralism enriches the University community, offers opportunity for robust academic dialogue, and con-tributes to better teaching and research. The University and its components benefit from the richness of a multicultural student body, faculty, and staff who can learn from one another. Such diversity will empower and inspire respect and understanding among us. The University does not tolerate the actions of anyone who violates the rights of another person.

Through policy and practice, the University strives to embody a diverse community. Our collective efforts will lead to a university that is truly diverse and reflects the state and nation.

MissionGraduate education is an integral component of a major

research university that impacts education at all levels. The mission of graduate education at the University of Florida is to produce individuals with advanced knowledge in their fields, who appreciate learning and are constant learners, and who are prepared to address creatively issues of significance to the local and global community for improving the qual-ity of life. Essential to this mission is an environment that fosters

• Effective transmission of knowledge for future generations.

• Inquiry and critical analysis.• Acquisition of skills contributing to success and leader-

ship in academic and creative arenas and in the world of practice.

• Application of that knowledge in service to Florida, the nation, and the international community.

VisionThe vision is a university internationally recognized for

its graduates, Graduate Faculty, and scholarly achievements. This university produces intellectually energized individuals who excel at future careers in diverse settings, and who can provide bold leadership in new directions. Important signs of this recognition include

• Graduates recognized for strength of preparation in their chosen discipline, for abilities to solve problems in new environments, and for high standards of excellence in scholarly activity and professional practice.

• Significant scholarly, creative achievements and service that contribute to improvement of human society and the natural environment.

• A highly qualified, diverse student population.• Strong disciplinary and interdisciplinary programs that

prepare graduates to assume their roles in a changing world.

• Evidence of service in their disciplines by students and faculty at state, national, and international levels.

OrganizationThe Graduate School consists of the Dean, Associate

Dean, Graduate Council, and the Graduate Faculty. General policies and standards of the Graduate School are estab-lished by the Graduate Faculty. Any policy change must be approved by the graduate deans and the Graduate Council. The Graduate School is responsible for the enforcement of minimum general standards of graduate work in the University and for the coordination of the graduate pro-grams of the various colleges and divisions of the University.

The responsibility for the detailed operations of graduate programs is vested in the individual colleges, schools, divi-sions, and academic units. In most of the colleges an assis-tant dean or other administrator is directly responsible for graduate study in that college.

The Graduate Council assists the Dean in being the agent of the Graduate Faculty for execution of policy related to graduate study and associated research. The Council, which is chaired by the graduate dean, considers petitions and pol-icy changes. Members of the Graduate Faculty are appointed by the academic unit in which the graduate program is located with the approval of the graduate dean.

All faculty members who serve on supervisory committees or direct master’s theses and doctoral dissertations must first be appointed to the Graduate Faculty. The level of duties for each Graduate Faculty member is determined by the academic unit.

HistoryGraduate study at the University of Florida existed while

the University was still on its Lake City campus. However, the first graduate degrees, two Master of Arts with a major in English, were awarded on the Gainesville campus in 1906. The first Master of Science was awarded in 1908, with a major in entomology. The first programs leading to the Ph.D. were initiated in 1930, and the first degrees were awarded in 1934, one with a major in chemistry and the other with a major in pharmacy. The first Ed.D. was award-ed in 1948. Graduate study has had a phenomenal growth at the University of Florida. In 1930, 33 degrees were awarded in 12 fields. In 1940, 66 degrees were awarded in 16 fields. In 2003-04, the total number of graduate degrees awarded was 3,616 in more than 100 fields. The proportion of Ph.D. degrees, after the initial rapid growth, remained relatively static during the early 1980s but increased significantly between 1987-88 and 1993-94, growing from 304 to 424. In 2003-04, the University of Florida awarded 563 Ph.D. degrees.

DefinitionsAcademic Degree—Degree is the title to be conferred by

the University upon completion of the academic program, for example, Doctor of Philosophy. Some degrees include the name of the field of study (Master of Architecture, Master of Education). Others (Master of Arts, Master of Science) do not. Degree names are listed in boldface.

Graduate Program—The program is the primary field of study of a graduate student. This is the student’s major. Programs offered at the University of Florida are approved by the Graduate Council, Faculty Senate, Board of Trustees, and Florida Board of Governors (specialist and doctoral

degrees). The degree and program name appear on the stu-dent’s transcript. Programs are enumerated under the degree name in the list of graduate degrees and programs.

Concentration—At the graduate level, the concentration is a subprogram offered within a graduate major. Each con-centration is approved by the Graduate Council. The con-centration, as well as the degree and program, may appear on the student transcript. Concentrations are listed in italics below their corresponding programs.

Minor—A minor is a block of course work completed in any academic unit, other than the major academic unit, approved for master’s or doctoral programs as listed in this catalog. If a minor is chosen, the supervisory committee must include a representative from the minor field. The minimum amount of credit required for a minor varies from 6 to 15 credits according to the program. The minor appears on the student’s transcript along with the program name and the degree awarded.

Specialization—Specialization is an informal designa-tion used by academic units to indicate areas of research or scholarly strength, and has no formal significance. Track and emphasis are similar unofficial terms. No tracks, emphases, or specializations appear in official lists in this catalog or on the student transcript.

Graduate Certificate—An academic unit may offer a graduate certificate along with a graduate degree. The cer-tificate indicates that the student took a required number of courses in a special area. It requires Graduate Council approval but is not listed on the student transcript.

Multi-College Programs—When one degree program is offered through more than one college, it is referred to as a multi-college program.

Combined Degree Program—This is a combined bach-elor’s and master’s degree program of study which allows an undergraduate student to take graduate-level courses prior to completion of the bachelor’s degree and to count 12 grad-uate credits toward both degrees. Students admitted into a combined program normally have at least a 3.2 grade point average and a score of at least 1100 on the verbal and quan-titative portions of the GRE. Academic units may establish higher admission standards. Individual academic units will determine whether or not a combined degree program is appropriate. Combined degree programs established prior to January 1, 2003, may have other requirements.

Cooperative Degree Program—This is course of study leading to a graduate degree with more than one institution authorized to provide course work.

Catalog Year—The set of academic requirements a student must fulfill is based on the rules in force in the aca-demic year of initial enrollment in a degree seeking status or, if the student takes time off, the academic year of readmis-sion. This is known as the catalog year.

Joint Degree Program—A course of study, pursued simultaneously, leading to a graduate degree and a profes-sional degree is called a joint degree program. Normally 12 credits of professional courses are counted toward the gradu-ate degree and 12 credits of graduate courses are counted toward the professional degree. Individual academic units will determine whether or not a joint degree program is

appropriate. Joint programs established prior to January 1, 2003, may have other requirements.

Concurrent Degree Program—Simultaneous study on an individualized basis leading to two master’s degrees in two graduate programs or two master’s degrees in the same major is called a concurrent degree program. Such a pro-gram is initiated by the student and requires prior approval of each academic unit and the Graduate School. If the student is approved to pursue two master’s degrees, no more than 9 credits of course work from one degree program may be applied toward meeting the requirements for the second master’s degree.

Co-Major—This is a course of study allowing two major programs for one Ph.D. degree. Each co-major must be approved by the Graduate Council.

Nontraditional Programs

Concurrent Graduate ProgramsA graduate student who wishes to pursue two master’s

degrees in two different programs or two master’s degrees within the same program concurrently must have the writ-ten approval of the representative of each academic unit involved and the Dean of the Graduate School. Any student interested in pursuing concurrent degrees should discuss the proposed study with the Graduate School’s Student Records staff prior to applying for the programs. If the request is approved, the student must be officially admitted to both programs through regular procedures. If the student is approved to pursue two master’s programs, no more than nine credits of course work from one degree program may be applied toward meeting the requirements for the second master’s degree. These nine credits must be by petition to the Dean of the Graduate School.

Joint Degree ProgramsA course of study leading to a graduate degree and a pro-

fessional degree is called a joint degree program. Normally 12 credits of professional courses are counted toward the graduate degree and 12 credits of graduate courses are counted toward the professional degree. Individual aca-demic units will determine whether a joint degree program is appropriate. Joint programs established prior to January 1, 2003, may have other requirements.

Any graduate student wishing to participate in a joint program must be admitted to both programs. Enrollment in one program may precede enrollment in the other according to timelines set by the program. A minimum of three credits registration in fall or spring or two credits in summer is required in the term in which a student intends to graduate. This course work must be credit that will apply toward the graduate degree requirements. See graduate coordinator for details.

Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Programs

The University of Florida offers a number of bachelor’s/master’s programs for superior students in which 12 cred-its of graduate-level courses are counted for both degrees. Courses that dual count must satisfy the requirements listed under the Transfer of Credit section of this catalog. Interested students should consult with their graduate coor-dinators about the availability of programs in that area and admissions requirements.

hosting institutions, receives a waiver of admission require-ments and a guarantee of acceptance of earned resident cred-its by the sponsoring institutions. The program will enable a graduate student to take advantage of the special resources available on another campus but not available on his/her own campus. The student must obtain prior approval by the graduate coordinator from the supervisory committee chair and the Dean of the Graduate School. Traveling scholars are normally limited to one term on the campus of the host uni-versity. Participation cannot be scheduled for the final term. Interested students should contact the Graduate Student Records Office, 106 Grinter Hall.

Cooperative Degree Programs—In certain degree pro-grams, faculty from other universities in the State University System hold Graduate Faculty status at the University of Florida. In those approved areas, the intellectual resources of these Graduate Faculty members are available to students at the University of Florida.

Interdisciplinary Graduate Certificates and Concentrations

A number of graduate programs offer interdisciplinary enhancements in the form of concentrations, field research, or graduate certificates. Those approved by the Graduate Council are summarized on the following pages.

African StudiesThe Center for African Studies, a National Resource

Center on Africa, funded, in part, under Title VI of the Higher Education Act, directs and coordinates interdisci-plinary instruction, research, and outreach related to Africa. In cooperation with participating academic units through-out the University, the Center offers a Certificate in African Studies at both the master’s and doctoral levels. The curricu-lum provides a broad foundation for students preparing for teaching or other professional careers in which a knowledge of Africa is essential.

Graduate Fellowships and Assistantships—Students admitted to the Graduate School in pursuit of degrees offered by participating academic units are eligible to compete for graduate assistantships and Title VI Foreign Language and Area Studies fellowships.

Extracurricular Activities—The Center sponsors the annual Carter Lectures on Africa on a given theme, a weekly colloquium series–BARAZA–with invited speakers, an African film series, and periodic brownbag discussions. Other conferences and lectures, as well as performances and art exhibits in conjunction with other campus units, are held throughout the academic year. The Center also directs an extensive outreach program addressed to public schools, community colleges, and universities nationwide.

Library Resources—The Center for African Studies provides direct support for African library acquisitions to meet the instructional and research needs of its faculty and students. The Africana Collection numbers over 120,000 volumes and 500 periodicals. The Map Library contains

360,000 maps and 165,000 serial photographs and satellite images and is among the top five academic African map libraries in the U.S.

Graduate Certificate Program—The Center for African Studies, in cooperation with participating academic units, offers a Certificate in African Studies in conjunction with the master’s and doctoral degrees.

Inquiries about the various programs and activities of the Center should be addressed to the Director, Center for African Studies, 427 Grinter Hall, or visit the Center web-site at http://www.africa.ufl.edu.

AgroforestryThe agroforestry interdisciplinary concentration is

administered through the School of Forest Resources and Conservation. It offers facilities for interdisciplinary gradu-ate education (M.S., Ph.D.) by combining course work and research around a thematic field focusing on agroforestry, especially in the context of tropical land use. Students seek-ing admission to the concentration should have a degree in one of the relevant fields such as agronomy, forestry, horti-culture, soil science, or social sciences. They should apply to the School of Forest Resources and Conservation or another academic unit that closely represents their background and interest. Course work may be chosen from several related disciplines. Thesis research can be undertaken in Florida or overseas. Degrees will be awarded through the academic units in which the candidates are enrolled.

In conjunction with the graduate degree, a student can earn a concentration or minor in agroforestry by fulfilling certain requirements. Students who have a primary interest in agroforestry and undertake graduate research on an agro-forestry topic can seek the concentration. Those who have an active interest and some training in agroforestry, but do not conduct graduate research on an agroforestry topic, can earn a minor. Candidates who fulfill the applicable require-ments can have their transcripts inscribed, upon request, with the citation Concentration in Agroforestry or Minor in Agroforestry.

Requirements for either option include completion of FNR 5335–Agroforestry and an appropriate number of approved supporting courses. These courses should be distributed over at least two academic units other than the candidate’s major academic unit to provide the student with the background necessary to function in multidisciplinary teams and in association with professionals from other disciplines. Individuals with a strong biological background are encouraged to take courses in the social sciences, and vice versa.

Candidates for the concentration or minor in agroforestry should include on the graduate committees at least one faculty member representing the agroforestry interest. This faculty member, as designated by the Agroforestry Program Advisory Committee, will counsel the student on the selec-tion of courses and the research topic.

Further information may be obtained from the Agroforestry Program Leader at 330 Newins-Ziegler Hall, (352) 846-0880, fax (352) 846-1322, and e-mail [email protected].
