The Graduate Program accepts students who have a bachelor's degree in Construction, Engineering, Business Administration, or Architecture from an accredited college with an upper-division GPA of at least 3.0 and an UF acceptable score on the General Test of the General Record Examination.
International students whose native language is not English, must submit a satisfactory score on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language (computer=213, paper=550, web=80), International English Language Testing System (IELTS=6), Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB=77) or must successfully complete the University of Florida English Language Institute program.
International students with unsatisfactory scores on the TOEFL, IELTS, or MELAB; unsuccessful completion of the University of Florida English Language Institute program; or an unacceptable score on the verbal part of the GRE must achieve an acceptable score on an essay administered by the Academic Written English program at UF. If English skills are not acceptable, then performance on the essay will be used to place students in appropriate courses that will not count toward a graduate degree.
