Transcript:
Upload a copy of your university-issued transcript from each university, college (university-level) and community college you have attended. Please make sure the institution name is on the document you upload. Transcripts from all attended schools and study abroad programs must be submitted since universities at which you earned your Bachelor's Degree often do not list transfer and study abroad courses with grades. If you have not yet graduated from your Bachelor's Degree institution, submit a copy of your current transcript, showing in progress courses. If admitted, official transcripts showing proof of graduation will be required.
Applicants who attended undergraduate programs at USF should upload their unofficial transcripts for departmental review, but are not required to send official USF transcripts.
Curriculum Vitae:
A resume should include relevant extracurricular activities during your undergraduate studies, volunteer experiences, internships, work experience and any other experiences (including community service and involvement in community organizations).
Personal Statement:
A two- to three-page, double-spaced, typewritten document that describes your personal, academic and/or professional reasons for pursuing a Master’s program in Urban and Public Affairs, and for choosing USF’s program. The statement should relate your workplace experiences and other backgrounds to your goals.
Recommendation Letter:
The application to the Master's program requires two letters of recommendation from individuals who can attest to your competence and ability to succeed in this graduate program. Ideally, both letters are academic references and refer to your academic abilities. It is possible that one letter is from a professional/work reference.
