Each year it happens. Numerous UF students work in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Nashville, Washington DC, Atlanta, Miami and all across Florida. The University of Florida seems a springboard to the nation for many. Some students have gone on to graduate school at Cranbrook Academy, CalArts, North Carolina State, while others have pursued MBA degrees. They are from Turkey, the Dominican Republic, Columbia, Jamaica, and the United States.
All graduate student have assistantships or scholarships.
The graduate level is relatively open and self-directed but community is formed during the semesterly design seminar. Students have formal faculty reviews at the end of each year and develop a 'thesis project' during their third year. This student design group is driven by the motivation and energy of our students. The intent is to educate ourselves, our school, our campus and community on design issues. These guests travel to campus to lecture and interact with students.
