Courses and Curriculum

In light of possible continued testing difficulties amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the UF Graduate School temporarily adjusted the GMAT and GRE testing policy. Through Fall of 2021, a GMAT or GRE score is waived for applicants to one of Warrington’s Specialized Master’s programs. Please contact the program administrators for updated application requirements and to check space availability.

The MS-Marketing program courses span the domain of marketing decision-making, from broad marketing strategy considerations to more focused decision areas such as pricing, branding, customer relationship management, and new product development. Upon completion of the required curriculum, students are awarded a Master of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing.
