Equipped to Lead and Succeed
Signature Academic Programs
The real world isn’t a far-off destination. It’s already here — woven into the classes you take, the city you live in, the mentors who guide you, and the projects that put your ideas to work. At USF, we don’t just prepare you for the real world. We deliver it.
Honors College
As an Honors College student, you’ll participate in small, interdisciplinary classes taught by faculty from across majors, travel abroad with the Honors College cohort, and gain access to signature Honors College Forum courses.
You’ll also have the opportunity to apply to the Getty Fellowship: A $5,000/year award to fund research projects, study abroad, internships, and more.
Horizon Collective
Get 150+ hours of hands-on project experience over four years, a $5,000/year renewable scholarship, direct connections to industry and community partners, and a professional coach to guide you along the way.
You'll tackle one of three critical arenas where USF excels and global needs (and jobs) are growing: climate and sustainability, health and wellbeing, and AI and technology.
4+1 Accelerated Degree Programs
Skip the grad school applications and start your path to a master’s degree right away. In a 4+1 accelerated degree program, you’ll earn a bachelor's and master's degree in five years instead of six. Plus, if you choose this option when you first enroll at USF, you'll receive 50 percent off your fifth-year tuition.
All programs include a capstone project or internship experience in your fourth and fifth years, so you’ll gain the practical skills necessary to start your career.
Real projects. Real stakes.
At USF, you don’t have to wait to do something real. The world you’re preparing for is already part of your college experience.
