University of Florida-Online

“America's #1 online bachelor's program — UF's full academic rigor delivered entirely online.”

University of Florida-Online is the fully online undergraduate and graduate division of the University of Florida, one of the nation's top public research universities. Ranked #1 in the United States for online bachelor's programs by U.S. News and World Report in 2026 — its third time topping the list since 2022 and eighth consecutive year in the top five — UF Online delivers the same prestigious UF degree as the flagship campus, fully accredited and at a fraction of the cost. Students earn an authentic University of Florida degree, gaining access to UF's extensive alumni network, career services, and institutional reputation. UF Online offers 25 bachelor's degree programs spanning business, computer science, health sciences, psychology, education, and more, along with graduate programs in education and business (MBA). Its tuition model is among the most affordable in public higher education: Florida residents pay just $3,876 per year, while out-of-state students pay $16,579 — well below comparable residential programs. This makes UF Online especially appealing to working adults, career-changers, and international students already living in the United States who seek an accredited, high-value credential. With an enrolled body of approximately 5,655 students — nearly 5,000 of them Florida residents — UF Online has grown steadily and continues to attract students from across the country and internationally. The program operates on a fully asynchronous or hybrid format, giving students flexibility to balance coursework with work or family obligations. Academic support, tutoring, and career advising are available online. Crucially, UF Online is a distinct entity from UF Main Campus: admission to one does not imply admission to the other, and UF Online does not issue I-20 documents or sponsor student visas.
