Master's and Doctoral Programs
Master's and doctoral programs at Florida Southern are built on rigorous academics,
nationally recognized accreditation, and a faculty who know your field from the inside.
The FSC Advantage
Choosing a graduate program is one of the most important decisions you'll make. At Florida Southern, that decision comes with a clear answer: smaller classes, expert faculty who know you by name, and accredited programs built around your professional life — not the other way around. Here's what sets FSC apart.
-
AACSB, CCNE, and CAPTE Accredited
FSC's business, nursing, and physical therapy programs hold the most rigorous professional accreditations in their fields — held by a small fraction of programs nationwide.
-
Faculty Who Know Your Field
FSC's graduate faculty are top executives, clinicians, and proven leaders — not just academics. Small class sizes mean you get their attention, not just their syllabus.
-
No GRE or GMAT — If You Qualify
Many FSC business graduate programs offer a test waiver for qualified working professionals. Apply when you're ready, not after months of test prep.
-
98% of Students Receive Financial Aid
Federal loans, employer reimbursement, and graduate assistantships are available. Many degrees can be completed in as few as 16 months.
