Deadline: All application materials must be received by December 1st of each year.

Due to the volume of applications that are received, we do not provide an internal courier service, so materials should be sent in separate packages to the appropriate addresses to ensure their proper receipt.

Application for Graduate Admission

Certificate of Financial Responsibility

Send to the International Center

International applicants are required to document proof of financial support for the first year. Form I-20 or DS-2019, which is required for your VISA, cannot be issued until you have been admitted to UF and have completed and returned this form to the UF International Center (their contact information is on the form).

Certificate of Financial Responsibility

GMAT/GRE Score

Send to the Office of Admissions and to the CSCM

The CSCM requires that applicants take all portions of the Graduate Admission Test (GMAT), or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Please visit www.mba.com or www.gre.org for test preparation materials. To register for one of the tests or to forward your official score to UF use the institution code of 5812. In addition, please hand-deliver or mail the department a copy of the official score report that you receive in the mail approximately two weeks after taking the test. Please do not fax the score report. Since it can take up to eight weeks for the Admissions Office to process your test score, it is important to allow for this delay by taking the exam well in advance of the application deadline.

Letters of Recommendation

Send to the CSCM only

Please use the form below to submit three letters of recommendation as part of your application to the Executive MS-ISOM (SCM) Program. If you waive your right of subsequent access to the recommendation letter, it must be sent in a signed and sealed envelope directly from the recommender to the CSCM (please do not email or fax). A recommender can be a professor or supervisor under whom you have studied, taught or worked, and who is able to comment on your qualifications for graduate study.
