THE MIND IS NOT A VESSEL TO BE FILLED... BUT A FIRE TO BE KINDLED.

That insight from the ancient philosopher Plutarch is what fuels the Graduate School at the University of Florida.

Here, graduate education is about more than you earn-ing a degree and getting a diploma.

It’s about you igniting your passion for intellectual exploration and creative endeavor in the quest for self-fulfillment.

It’s about you blazing new trails in discovery, innova-tion, enterprise, and progress to advance the common good.

It’s about you lighting paths toward healthier horizons and brighter perspectives for a better, more humane future.

Here, graduate education is a catalyst that can make your inner spark burst into a formidable flame.

Come to the University of Florida Graduate School and let your personal best shine.
