About
History
Since our founding over 160 years ago, we’ve continually pushed the boundaries of knowledge forward. With our finger on the pulse and an eye on the horizon, we’ve pursued the greatest heights of research and innovation, always together and always for the betterment of Florida and the world.
Education
Before you can lead the charge, you have to discover your calling. So look through our library of 30 certificates, 100 undergraduate majors and 200 graduate programs. Discover your path and start toward your greater purpose.
Research
At UF, our research leads us to collaborate across departments, the state, the nation and the world. Together, our focus is on improving lives—not just in the lab or in theory, but in real life. Because we’re not just discovering breakthroughs or developing new products — we’re shaping the minds that shape the future.
t’s a process that leads to not only stronger minds, but better brains. For example, our McKnight Brain Institute is one of the nation’s most comprehensive and technologically advanced centers devoted to discovering how the normal brain operates, and how we can repair the brain following injury, disease or aging.
Career
We changed our name from the Career Resource Center to the Career Connections Center. It’s a small change from our previous name but it better represents the big impact we can have on your life. This is where Gators bridge the gap between inspiration and action, and where employers are linked to the best talent entering the work force. Whether you’re a student or alumni, the Career Connections Center will help you across the lifespan of your career.
The Career Connections Center has a range of career fairs to fit every recruiting need. From on-campus to virtual events, our fairs give you the opportunity to meet and network with talented University of Florida students and alumni.

Student Reviews
It's worth it for the go getters!
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
My overall experience was pretty fulfilling. At times it was stressful but that is part of college and I have a lot to thank this University for. I have studied abroad 12 months and have been financially supported by this University and I am most grateful for the opportunities this University gave me to make my degree more meaningful.
Chronicles of University
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
I am overall satisfied with my experience at UF. The professors have a close relationship with students and offer a variety of ways to gain close relationships with them and other academic opportunities. I sometimes wish my major had a bit more standardization in learning so that every student could learn the same programs
Uni life is wonderful
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
I cannot complain about anything so far. I am loving the experience. The only problem that I have now is the opportunities that I can't access because of COVID-19
