Core Curriculum

The Core Curriculum Course at the University of Florida!

The UF Graduate School has created a self-paced course that offers a comprehensive, well-rounded experience aimed at enhancing your professional skills as you complete your degree. Organized into six distinct modules that cover core competencies for graduate education—Research Skills & Knowledge, Management & Leadership, Effectiveness & Purpose, Professionalism, Communication, and Career Advancement—each segment is designed to introduce you to key areas that support your growth beyond traditional graduate training.

Rather than focusing solely on academic theories, this curriculum facilitates your learning by providing practical, real-world skills alongside a clear framework and direction. By working through these modules, you'll gain insights into research, leadership strategies, effective communication, and career development tools. The course bridges the gap between academic learning and professional practice, aiming to enhance your effectiveness as a graduate student.

We encourage you to seize this opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive by making the most out of this course!
