Undergraduate

An education in the liberal arts and sciences prepares students for a wide range of careers. Although many people assume that one’s major often translate into the equivalent career, the reality is that many employers favor skills wrought in liberal arts and sciences education and recruit job candidates from a pool of possible majors, emphasizing the degree completion over the major(s) used to achieve it. Few professional positions require a specific undergraduate major.

An education in our College with one (or more!) of our 43 majors nourishes the development of skills that recruiters expect from job candidates, including communications, problem-solving, teamwork, and innovation skills. Our graduates work in most areas of business, industry, government, and education. They also acquire excellent preparation for graduate and professional schools, which generally do not prefer specific majors as long as students prepare appropriately to meet the entrance requirements.

In addition, undergraduate students in our College have exciting opportunities to work closely with our faculty on their research or to design their own research program. Conducting research as an undergraduate prepares one for graduate work and imparts valuable project management and collaboration skills. A number of scholarships are available.

UF-CLAS Shared Language Program

In the Fall 2021 term, the University of Florida College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) will offer seats in 15 language courses to any interested student in the State University System (SUS). These courses will all be taught online (either synchronously or asynchronously). Students must obtain permission from their home institutions prior to enrollment in any of the courses in the UF-CLAS Shared Language Program. Learn more about the UF-CLAS Shared Language Program.
