We see it in the hopes and dreams of every student success story. We feel the pride in every discovery that helps people lead healthier lives. We grow with every community advancement where our families work and play.
Generally, F-1 students are only allowed to work on campus for 20 hours per week during the Fall and Spring semesters (40 hours during breaks and annual vacation). For a job to be considered to be “on campus” you must receive a USF generated paycheck or the on-campus location must offer essential services to students, such as the Yuengling Center or the USF Follett Bookstore.
PSW Opportunity
- 12 to 36 months( OPT duration depends on the major studied)
Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria
Each applicant to a graduate degree program at the University of South Florida is required to meet the following minimum requirements. Graduate programs often require additional information and supporting documents. Applications should consult with the desired program of interest for additional requirements:
An applicant must have one of the following (a, b, or c):
- A bachelor’s degree satisfying at least one of the following criteria:
- “B” average (3.00 on a 4.00 scale) or better in all work attempted while registered as an undergraduate student working toward a baccalaureate degree, or
- “B” average (3.00 on a 4.00 scale) or better in all work attempted while registered as a graduate student working for a graduate degree.
- A bachelor’s degree with a “B” average or better and a previous graduate degree with a “B” average or better. In cases where an applicant has a bachelor’s and a graduate degree at the time of admission, the credentials and GPA of the graduate degree will be the determining factor for admission.
- The equivalent bachelor's and/or graduate degrees from a foreign institution. Bachelor’s degrees from institutions in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) are considered equivalent based on the Bologna Accord. For applicants with a 3-year Bachelor’s Degree with less than 120 hours, from Non-Bologna Accord Institutions, a transcript evaluation from a NACES member is required to confirm equivalency.
Applicants from countries where English is not the official language, and who have not earned at least a bachelor’s degree in the U.S., must also demonstrate proficiency in the English language.
