Students invited into this program will begin coursework at Santa Fe College and, upon successful completion of specified classes, will continue their study on the UF campus. Read More >
What is Gator Engineering?
Overview
The Gator Engineering @ Santa Fe program, a collaboration between the University of Florida and Santa Fe College, is an innovative B.S. engineering degree program. This program allows a cohort of students to begin their coursework at Santa Fe College, gain admission to UF as early as after the first semester, continue coursework at Santa Fe for two more semesters (or until completion of all math and science critical tracking courses), and then matriculate to UF campus to continue their engineering study in their chosen major. The first degree programs participating in the 2013-2014 academic year are those delivered by the Departments of Computer and Information Systems and Engineering in computer engineering (CEN) with a software focus, digital arts and sciences (DAS); and those by the Electrical and Computer Engineering in computer engineering (CEE) with a hardware focus and electrical engineering (EE).
Students are evaluated for this program after first being considered for freshman admission to UF. Students invited to this program must apply through the freshman admissions process. The deadline for freshman applications to UF is November 1st.
