UniversityAdmissionsCriteriaandPolicies
USFRegulationUSF3008:
http://generalcounsel.usf.edu/regulations/pdfs/regulationusf3.008.pdf
StatementofPrinciples
In graduate admission decisions, multiple sources of information should be used to ensure fairness, promote
diversity and balance the limitations of any single measure of knowledge, skills, or abilities. The sources may
include: undergraduate grade point average, letters of recommendation, personal statements, samples of
academic work, portfolios, auditions, professional experience related to proposed graduate study, as well as
nationallyknown,standardizedtestscores.Itistheresponsibilityofeachgraduateprogramtoselectadmissions
criteriathatbestpredictsuccessintheirspecificfieldandtodeterminetheweightgiventoeachmeasure.
None of the sources of information, particularly standardized test scores, should be used in isolation nor should
such scores be used in combination or separately to establish minimum or cut off scores. Program specific
guidelines for the use of standardized test scores should be developed based on the experience of a given
departmentwithitspoolofapplicants.

Student/AdvisorRelationship
Althoughitisultimatelytheresponsibilityofthestudenttobeacquaintedwithallpoliciesandregulations,andbe
responsible for completing requirements, the Advisor's role is to guide students in all aspects of their academic
program and to monitor and evaluate students progress toward their degrees. He/she should be aware of any
difficultiesthatstudentsmaybefacingintheircourseworkorresearchexperiencesandshouldworkwithstudents
in resolving these issues. It is recommended that the advisor and student understand each others expectations
and that effective means of communication are established. The advisor and student are encouraged to meet at
appropriate intervals to critically evaluate the student's progress. These meetings may be requested by the
studentortheadvisor.Theadvisoralsohastheobligationtoexpresstothestudentanyconcernshe/shemayhave
regardingthestudent'sperformance,tostipulatethelevelandqualityofworkexpected,andtooffersuggestions
leading to student success. As such, the advisor neither gives the student excessive guidance nor allows the
student to struggle needlessly. The goal of this relationship is to foster student independence, which results in
successfulcompletionoftheprogramofstudy.
StudentsProgramofStudy
In addition to the graduate degree program requirements as specified in the Graduate Catalog, each student
should have a written, flexible program of study that includes the student's choice of Catalog year, choice of
concentration, cognate, or other options available in the degree program, and a tentative identification of other
appropriate choices available to the student in the program, which may (but does not need to) include specific
courses.Aprogramofstudyisnotaguaranteethatspecificcourseswillbeavailableinaspecificsemesterorthat
statutoryandregulatoryrequirementswillnotchangeduringthestudent'senrollmentintheprogram.Asrequired
or appropriate, the program of study should be revisited and modified by the student and the student's
advisor/majorprofessor(s).
ElectronicSignatures
Where procedures described in this catalog require signatures, requirements for original signatures may be satisfied by
Universityapproved electronic signatures or other secure methods of verifying approval by advisors, major professors,
committeemembers,orotherUniversityadministrators,faculty,andstaff.
Assistantships
Graduate Assistantships (GA), Research Assistantships (RA), and Teaching Assistantships (TA) Graduate
Assistantships are intended to recruit quality students to graduate study at USF and to enhance the graduate
learning experience. Graduate assistantships exist within academic departments or other university offices on
campus.Graduateassistantsmayteach,conductresearch,orperformothertasksthatcontributetothestudents
professional development. Graduate students may be classified as Graduate Assistants (GAs), Graduate Teaching
Assistants/Associates (GTAs), Graduate Instructional Assistants (GIAs), and/or Graduate Research
Assistants/Associates (GRAs). All graduate assistants at USF work under a contract negotiated by the Graduate
Assistants United (GAU) and the USF Board of Trustees. The GAU is the labor union certified as the exclusive

programs. Typically students will complete a portion of the required graduate coursework while classified as an
undergraduate student and have it count towards both degrees. As soon as the student completes the
undergraduate degree requirements, the student is converted to graduate status, where the remaining graduate

ReleaseofDissertationPublications
The University recognizes the benefits from collaboration with sponsors on research projects but also
recognizes the possibility of conflicts of interest in the disclosure of the results of the collaborations.
While the sponsors economic interests in the restriction of disclosure should be considered, the
University has a primary mission to extend knowledge and disseminate it to the public and the broader
academic community. The Universitys Statement of Policy Regarding Inventions and Works
acknowledgesthepossibleneedfordelaysinpublicationofsponsoredresearchtoprotectthesponsors
interests, but it provides no definite guidelines for the restrictions of publication beyond the statement:
DisclosuredelaysmutuallyacceptabletotheInventor,theVicePresidentforResearch,andthesponsor,
if any, are authorized in order to allow patent applications to be filled prior to publication, thereby
preservingpatentrights...
8
To protect the Universitys primary goal from undue compromise, the University has adopted the
followingguidelines:
1. The recommendations of sponsors, regarding publication of research results should be
consideredadvisoryratherthanmandatory.
2. In support of academic discourse and the mission to promote and share academic works,
Dissertations will be released for worldwide access once submitted to and approved by the
USF Office of Graduate Studies. In the event that a patent or copyright application provides
reasontodelaythereleaseoftheDissertation,apetitiontorequestaoneyeardelaymaybe

3. Students should not be delayed in the final defense of their dissertations by agreements

PROGRAMINFORMATION
The M.A. program, initiated in 1974, was the first in the country to focus on career training for the practice of Applied
Anthropology. Faculty at USF specialize in various areas, including medical anthropology, biological anthropology, urban
policy and community development, education, archaeology, cultural resource management (CRM), economic
development, immigration, media, and issues pertaining to race, gender, and ethnicity. Geographic specializations
emphasizetheCaribbean,LatinAmerica,SubSaharanAfrica,Europe,andtheUnitedStates.Morethan200graduateshave
received an education in anthropology and its practical uses, leading to employment in government and private sector
agencies and organizations. For many, the MA is a terminal degree that qualifies them for professional careers in
administration, program evaluation, planning, research, and cultural resource management. Others have gone on to earn
doctoraldegreesandhavegainedemploymentinacademicorhigherlevelnonacademicpositions.
Students entering the Masters program in Applied Anthropology at USF choose from one of four tracks: Archaeology,
BiologicalAnthropology,CulturalAnthropology,orMedicalAnthropology.Althoughthesefourtrackssharesomecommon

students are trained to work in law enforcement, private sector consulting and research, and nongovernmental
organizations. The Medical Anthropology track prepares students to conduct research, evaluation, and consulting in a
varietyofsettings,includingcommunitybasedorganizations,countyandstatehealthdepartments,andnongovernmental
organizations. In addition to following the curriculum of a track, M.A. students can select elective courses to fulfill one of
four concentrations in Archaeological and Forensic Sciences, Biocultural Medical Anthropology, Cultural Resource

(or by taking the exams in the appropriate course and obtaining the equivalent grade) in the area of the deficiency
before their candidacy exam. Students with a Masters degree may be required to adhere to the policy at the
discretion of the Graduate Council at the time of acceptance. Entering students will have a Promotion to Candidacy
Committee established upon entering the Ph.D. Program. The Committee advises students as to what courses they
need to take in their first semester. There are no set course requirements, but the decision of the Committee is
binding. Students will normally be expected to take the first semester of the first year covering Tools of Research,
including literature search and analysis, proposal writing, oral presentation skills, and laboratory instrumental
techniques. The second semester of the course may be required by a students promotion to Candidacy committee.
Advanced courses in other subject areas may be assigned by the Committee, where appropriate. Final coursework
decisionsaremadebythecandidatesresearchadvisor.

PromotiontoCandidacy
At the conclusion of the first year (before the start of the third semester), a written research document outlining
progress to date and future plans is submitted to and approved by the Promotion to candidacy Committee. This
proposal is subsequently defended in front of the committee. A successful defense results in Promotion to Ph.D.
Candidacy, contingent upon the student being formally accepted into a research group. The committee must vote

Human Geography studies the construction of space, place, and power. It encompasses the study of economic
geographies (e.g. globalization and development), political geographies (e.g. geopolitical struggles and new social
movements),andsocialandculturalgeographies(e.g.identitiesandexclusions).Humangeographyiskeytoproviding
insights into contemporary spatial arrangements, including the role of cities within the global economy, locating
urbanrural intersections in theproduction of uneven development, and howclass, gender, and raceshape struggles

PROGRAMINFORMATION
The M.S. in microbiology degree is administered by the Department of Cell Biology, Molecular Biology and
Microbiology (CMMB). Most research in the CMMB Department is done by faculty housed in the BioScience Facility
building(BSF).DuetotheinterdisciplinaryaspectofmostResearchprojects,facultyandgraduatestudentsoftenwork
together on broad ranging research projects that bring together many of the traditionally separate areas of biology.
ManyofthefacultywithinCMMBareinvolvedincooperativeresearchwiththeircolleaguesinChemistry,Integrative
Biology, Public Health, Nursing, Medicine, Geology, Psychology, Geography, Marine Science, and Environmental
Science. Often CMMB graduate students have faculty members from these other areas of USF as members of their
graduatecommittees.
Because of the many undergraduate courses that require handson experimental laboratories, CMMB support many
graduate students as Teaching Assistants. CMMB values high quality teaching at all levels of support. Research
Assistantpositionsmayalsobeavailabletosupportresearchwithspecificfacultymembersdependingonanindividual
facultymembersfunding.NumerousscholarshipopportunitiesarealsoofferedonacompetitivebasisthroughtheUSF
GraduateSchool.
ApplyingtotheDepartmentofCellBiology,MicrobiologyandMolecularBiology
Students interested in attending graduate school within the CMMB Department should visit the CMMB website that
can be accessed from the main USF site and review the current CMMB faculty. It is recommended that potential
students consider at least 23 CMMB faculty that they would be interested in working with and communicate this

informationintheirletterofapplication.ItisalsorecommendedthatpotentialstudentscontacttheCMMBGraduate
Directoraswellastheindividualfacultymemberstheyareinterestedinworkingwithviaemail.Suchcommunication
will facilitate the assignment of the laboratory rotations that CMMB students will participate in during their first
semester of residency and also allow the applicant to determine whether the desired faculty member has positions
availableinthelaboratory.
AllstudentsadmittedtotheMastersconcentrationinCellBiologyandMolecularBiologymustestablishasupervisory
committee. The supervisory committee shall constitute the major professor and at least two additional credentialed
faculty. At least one of the committee members must be a faculty member at USF. Supervisory committee must be
formed within two semesters after matriculation. The CMMB Graduate Director and CMMB Chair must approve the
Supervisory Committee. Once a major professor has been assigned and/or a student occupies or utilizes significant
space or facilities for research or analogous scholarly activity directly pertinent to the generation of a thesis, the

sites each week, students also participate in practicum seminars each semester. In these seminars, the Practicum
Coordinator discusses important practice issues and facilitates student discussion of their applied work. The
supervision of the students research theses rests in the hands of designated core faculty members (i.e., major
professors). Major professors serve as mentors for the students by closely supervising their research and their
progressthroughtheprogram.Therefore,asstudentsarementoredbytheirmajorprofessorsduringtheprogram, a

PROGRAMINFORMATION
ProgramDescription
The purpose of this online Masters program is to prepare teachers to be highly qualified and provide access to the
general curriculum in least restrictive school environments to students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and
IntellectualDisabilities(InD).
Accreditation:
TheMasterofArtsinASDandInDmeetstheaccreditationstandardsrequiredbytheCollegeofEducation,University
ofSouthFlorida.TheproposedcurriculumintheprogramisalignedwiththeconceptualframeworkoftheCollegeof
Education and will meet the specific standards of the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education
(NCATE)andtheSouthernAssociationofCollegesandSchools(SACS).
MajorResearchAreas
The program benefit to the university, local community and the state can be summarized in two ways. In a
quantitative way, the program meets the need of preparing effective teachers to work with the growing number of
students in general and special education who are identified as having ASD labels. This is demonstrated through the
critical shortage of data at a national and state level and also in the surveys of local school districts to USF. In a
qualitative way, the program meets the need to prepare effective teachers to work with this group of students that
represents a paradigmatic shift in where and how these students learn. Students with ASD and InD labels need
meaningful access to general education curriculum and their typically developing peers and this program meets this
need.

Students apply for admission to this program through their advisors, who should be consulted regarding
additional requirements. Several factors, which vary by academic department, are considered for
admission.However,allapplicantsmusthaveaminimumGPAofatleast3.00.
DoctoralDegreePrograms
The Doctor of Philosophy degree is awarded in recognition of demonstrated scholarly competence and
ability to conduct and report original and significant research. Unlike the baccalaureate and Masters
degrees, the Ph.D. degree cannot be earned by an accumulation of course credits over a period of
residence alone. After adequate fundamental preparation to gain competence, the student must
demonstrate research capability through completion of an authoritative investigation in the chosen
engineering field, culminating in a written dissertation. The dissertation must demonstrate that the
studentpossessestheabilitytoreasonlogically,thetalentforengaginginsignificantandoriginalresearch,
andtheabilitytoorganizeandpresentconclusionsinaprofessionalmanner.
Doctor of Philosophy in Designated Engineering Field This degree is awarded to students pursuing a
program in one of the following Engineering disciplines: Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering,
Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering,
Industrial Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Students receiving this degree must demonstrate a

of Biomedical Translational Research, more specifically EngineerPhysicians who can conduct research in a Biomedical
EngineeringAreathataddressesasignificantclinicalproblem,andbringthatresearchthroughtoClinicalapplication;and2)
provide an integrated educational experience leading to both the M.D. degree and the Ph.D.(BME) Degree. In order to
accomplish the first objective, advances in health care increasingly involves the application of emerging science and
technology(I.E.,Engineering)toclinicalproblems,includingproblemsindiagnosticstreatmentandthehealthcaresystem
itself. Unlike more basic research that often aims to increase science and technology knowledge in itself, translational
researchseekstospecificallyaddressthescienceandtechnologyneededtosolveproblemswiththeendproductanactual

Inordertoconducteffectivebiomedicaltranslationalresearch,theinvestigatormustbetrainedinbothclinicalscience(i.e.
the MD Degree) and Engineering (Specifically Biomedical Engineering). This need hasbeen delineatedby bothacademics
and industry and is validated by the growing number of MD/PH.D. (BME) programs nationally. USF has the necessary
educationalcomponentsandresearchinfrastructureforthisendeavor;bothdegreesarecurrentlyavailable.Theproposed
program seeks to provide an integrated experience where the student really fells a part of both the medical/clinical and

CollegeStructureandLocation:
The College of Marine Science (CMS) was formed during 2000 from the previous Department of Marine
Science, initiated in 1967 with three founding faculty members. The Florida Board of Regents declared it a
UniversityCenterofExcellencein1978andapprovedtheMarineSciencePh.D.programin1982.TheCMSat
the University of South Florida is constituted as a graduatelevel research program that forms the basis for
educationalopportunitiesatthePh.D.andM.S.degreelevelsandforpublicservicetotheStateofFlorida.
Located on the beautiful waterfront of Tampa Bay adjacent to the USF St. Petersburg campus, CMS is
administratively part of the USF Tampa campus and reports to the Provost of USF. The College is focused on
interdisciplinary research in marine science. Our 30 ranked faculty, 112 support personnel and roughly 100
graduate students work together toward a vision of understanding the unified global ocean system. The
College seeks to build new interdisciplinary research teams in colalboration with our local marine science
researchpartners,includetheFloridaFishandWildlifeResearchInstitute,theU.S.GeologicalSurvery,NOAA,
SRISt.Petersburg,andMoteMarineLab.
MissionStatement:
The primary mission of the College is to conduct basic and applied research in ocean science. Here, ocean
scienceisdefinedbyapplicationofthetraditionalfieldsofsciencetoboththebiology,chemistry,geology,and
physicsofthemarineenvironmentandtotheinteractionsbetweenthemarineenvironmentandtheadjoining
atmosphere and land systems presently and throughout earths history. Included in the primary ocean
science mission is the development of new technologies and tools for exploring the coupled ocean
atmospherelandsystems.TheCollegeexpectsitsfacultytodevelopresearchprogramsofoutstandingcaliber
and to fully engage the national and international scientific communities, through the reporting of research
results in the most respected oral and written venues, and by professional service. Integral to the ocean

PROGRAMINFORMATION
The Dual Degree Program in Biotechnology and Entrepreneurship is the combination of two existing programs that
allowsstudentstoobtaintwoMastersdegreesinaconcurrentratherthansequentialeffort.Thetimecommitment
will be about three years with a total of 57 credit hours. The combination of a Masters in Biotechnology with a
Masters in Entrepreneurship educates students to understand the scientific process and its challenges and at the
same time provides the training that will enable them to facilitate the translation of scientific data from mind to
market. This combination makes graduate students outstandingly versatile and thereby lays an essential stepstone
fortheirfuturesuccess.
Accreditation:
Accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of College and Schools. The Biotechnology
Program has also been recognized as a Professional Science Masters Program by the U.S. Council of Graduate
Schools.
Students will have to apply individually to each program. Admission to one program does not automatically grant

GLOBALDISASTERMANAGEMENTANDHUMANITARIANRELIEF
The field of disaster management and humanitarian relief plays an important role in global health,
especially in areas of armed conflict and natural disasters. With the increase in weapons of mass
destruction, including nuclear and biological threats from terrorist groups and radical states, the need
forformaltrainingandeducationhasincreased.Localandinternationalorganizations,governmentsand
United Nation agencies are in need of highly trained professionals to manage and direct programs to
reducetheglobalpublichealththreatsthatcontinuetoplagueus.Whereandwhenthenexttsunamior
earthquake will strike, or how the next terrorist group will respond is unknown. But the logic behind
professionally mitigating and preparing for one of these incidences places us in a stronger position to
respond.
This concentration builds on the existing framework of the College of Public Health core courses, field
experience and special project. Combining this framework with the existing disaster management and

OTHERREQUIREMENTS
A course in 20th Century Art History should have been successfully completed at the undergraduate level prior to
entering the M.F.A. program. If not, new students must enroll in the USF course during the first year of graduate
study. However, financial aid awards will not cover the cost of the course and it cannot be used to satisfy the 60
creditsrequiredfortheM.F.A.degree.
The School of Art and Art History highly recommends that all students seeking an advanced degree in Art take a
minimumofonecourseinElectronicMedia.
The remainder of the program is discretionary and can be planned with the advice of the Graduate Art Advisor in its
initial stages. After faculty acceptance of the student's M.F.A. Proposed Research Project, a Graduate Supervisory
Committee selected by the student will serve in an advisory capacity to the student for planning the rest of his/her
program.

GeneralRuleforCourseEquivalencies
Equivalent courses at different institutions are identified by the same prefixes and same last three digits of the course
number and are guaranteed to be transferable between participating institutions that offer the course, with a few
exceptions.(Exceptionsarelistedbelow.)

indicator. The C represents a combined lecture and laboratory course. The L represents a laboratory course or the
laboratory part of a course, having the same prefix and course number without a lab indicator, which may meet at a
different time or place. Transfer of any successfully completed course from one institution to another is guaranteed in
cases where the course to be transferred is equivalent to one offered by the receiving institution. Equivalencies are
established by the same prefix and last three digits and comparable faculty credentials at both institutions. For example,
SYG 1010 is offered at a community college while thesame course is offered ata state university as SYG 2010.A student

institutiontodeterminesatisfactionofrequirementsonthesamebasisascreditawarded tothenativestudents.Itisthe
prerogative of the receiving institution to offer transfer credit for courses successfully completed which have not been

TheCoursePrefix
The course prefix is a threeletter designator for a major division of an academic discipline, subject matter area, or sub
category of knowledge. The prefix is not intended to identify the department in which a course is offered. Rather, the
contentofacoursedeterminestheprefixdesignation.
AuthorityforAcceptanceofEquivalentCourses
StateBoardofEducationRule6A10.024(19),FloridaAdministrativeCode,reads:
When a student transfers among postsecondary institutions that are fully accredited by a regional or national accrediting
agency recognized by the United States Department of Education and that participate in the common course designation
and numbering system, the receiving institution shall award credit for courses satisfactorily completed at the previous
participating institutions when the courses are judged by the appropriate common course designation and numbering
system faculty task forces to be academically equivalent to courses offered at the receiving institution, including
equivalency of faculty credentials, regardless of the public or nonpublic control of the previous institution. The award of
credit may be limited to courses that are entered in the course numbering system. Credits so awarded shall satisfy
