Give Your Career that UF EDGE
May 10, 2005
Through UF EDGE (Electronic Delivery of Graduate Engineering), you, the practicing engineering, can obtain a master's degree right where you work or live. UF EDGE programs are delivered either via streaming video or DVD directly to you. These are the same courses taught by University of Florida faculty on campus. CISE offers two degree programs via distance learning: one a master of science degree in Computer Engineering/Computer Science and the second a master of science in Computer Engineering/Computer Science with an emphasis in bioinformatics. Campus residency is not required.
Admission Requirements, Costs, and Advising
Admission to graduate programs in engineering is based on academic record and Graduate Record Examination scores.
Admission processing is done through the UF Graduate School. Current information about the Graduate School is available at: graduateschool.ufl.edu.
The responsibility for academic advisement, course instruction, and other academic issues resides with the CISE faculty.
The cost of the program is $300 per semester credit hour for Florida residents. Out-of- state rates apply for non-Florida residents. However, reduced tuition rates for qualified out-of-state candidates are available.
Master's Degrees Do Pay Off
The investment of time and tuition dollars toward a master's can bring a terrific return in total income. Starting salaries for engineers with a master's degree can be $8,000 - $10,000 higher than for those with only a bachelor's degree. Over a lifetime, the income advantage of a master's degree averages more than $400,000.
