Academics

We have a simple philosophy at UF Online: To become the best, you must learn from the best.

Our program stands at the forefront, providing flexible academic options with the same faculty and rigor that make us a leading university. We don’t compromise our standards because we are the standard. We demand more from our students because we demand more from ourselves as a university.

The foundation of any elite university is its faculty



At UF Online, we’re proud to tell you our foundation is strong, as we have some of the top faculty in the country. In addition to attracting over $700 million in research each year, they foster the uniquely collaborative environment that transforms potential into actual results. Other accomplishments of our faculty:

  • Two Pulitzer Prize-winning faculty members call UF home
  • UF has nearly 5,000 faculty members, the vast majority of whom have distinguished teaching and research records
  • UF has 43 faculty elections to the National Academy of Sciences Engineering, the Institute of Medicine or the American Academy of Arts and Sciences
