UF’s program stands out thanks to its high degree of customization, with half of the degree credits fulfilled through electives. Students may choose from more than a dozen elective course options, plus different experiential options (internship, independent study, and research). They get practical, hands-on experience that has a positive impact on both their current work and future career goals.
