Academics are anchored by distinguished faculty and supported by cutting-edge facilities and technology.

• 89 undergraduate majors across 13 schools and colleges

• 37 doctoral programs
• Graduate certificates, non-degree seeking study, non-credit continuing education courses and teacher certification

USF Transforms Learning So Students Can Change the World

At USF, we believe a university can help change the world. To do that, academic programs are innovative as well as pragmatic. Learning moves from the theoretical in the classroom to practical application in the laboratory, the community and the world.

• USF students are engaged in their disciplines through internships, research opportunities, study abroad, work and service experiences.
• Students are at the forefront of emerging technologies and new sciences, assisting with breakthroughs in fields such as medicine, biotechnology, engineering and the environment with positive impact on lives around the world.
• Students participate in endeavors with global reach: USF is home to the Patel Center for Global Solutions and the only Confucius Institute in the state.

The focus of USF academics is to enable students to see how their specific disciplines can shape the global community… and how they, personally, can impact the world.

USF academics… meaningful scholarship.
