Key facts:

University of Florida offers a number of Bachelor’s/Master’s programs for superior students. The university created combined degree programs to provide academically talented students an opportunity to complete both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in a shorter period of time.

The Women’s Studies program allows you to double-count graduate courses toward both degrees, thus reducing the time it would normally take to graduate by a semester or more. The combined-degree program reduces the cost of both degrees and enhances your marketability for career advancement.
