Thank you for your interest in our Medical Sciences graduate programs at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine! Our faculty committee members are eager to review your application. On this page, you will find detailed information on how to apply.
We look forward to welcoming you to the USF Health graduate community!
Due to the challenging circumstances caused by the coronavirus pandemic, applications that are fully complete but missing a test score may be considered on a case-by-case basis for the Fall 2021 semester.
Please note that students should still submit test scores if they are able, and apply as soon as possible for the best chance of consideration.
Minimum admission requirements for our Master's Programs can be found in the Graduate Catalog. Links to the specific programs are included below.

The admission process for graduate programs can be a complex process. In order to be fair and unbiased in our review our staff is unable to advise prospective students on how to enhance their application or discuss chances of admission to our master's programs.
Official university deadlines can be found in the Graduate Catalog at the link below. The deadlines listed are the final deadlines for submission of the online application.
Though applications will not be reviewed before they are fully complete with all supporting materials (test scores, transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc.), you can submit the online application, then provide the required supporting materials as soon as possible after applying.
Two items to note:
The deadlines listed in the catalog are for the online application. The department may accept and review supporting documents (e.g. pending test scores or grades) within a month after these deadlines on a space available basis. Applicants who complete the application and provide supporting documents by the deadline will have maximum consideration.
Applications for Fall are reviewed on a rolling basis from October-July. The best time to apply is when you feel your application is the strongest and before the June 1 deadline.
Highly competitive applicants may hear a decision within 2-4 weeks after completing their application. Please keep in mind that the committee may place some applications on hold as the applicant pool grows. Decisions can be made up until a month before the semester begins. The Fall semester begins August 23, 2021.
*This information does not apply to the MSMS Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (IMS) program. Since this program starts on an alternative calendar in June, their deadline will be earlier. IMS applicants should apply before March 1.
