Program Overview

Program Overview

The university program in Modeling and Simulation offers a flexible and transdisciplinary approach to education, allowing students to pursue their interests and research applications in their domain of choice.

Completion Rate and Program Structure

• The program has a very low attrition rate for the master's degree, with nearly all students able to find a relevant and interesting plan of study.
• Both full-time and part-time students are welcome in the program, with the option to pursue their studies at their own pace.

Estimated Time to Complete the Program

• Program completion times vary, depending on the student's progress through coursework and research.
• For full-time Ph.D. students with a master's degree, completion typically takes three to four years, depending on research progress.
• For full-time doctoral students entering directly after their bachelor's degree, completion typically takes five to seven years, depending on research progress.
• Part-time students will require more time than indicated above.

Admission Criteria

• The admissions committee considers the whole package, including GPA, resume, letters of recommendation, goal statement, and record of research.
• Applicants must meet the minimum requirements, but the admission process looks beyond just these requirements to find strong candidates who are a good fit for the program.

Academic Reputation

• The university's programs in Modeling, Simulation, and Training are renowned in the industry and offer a unique, transdisciplinary approach.
• The programs are situated in Orlando, Florida, the national center of excellence for modeling, simulation, and training.

Class Delivery Modes

• The university offers several modes of class delivery, including mixed-mode, which combines online and in-person class time.
• Most courses in the modeling and simulation program are mixed mode, but some electives may be fully online or in-person.

GRE Requirements

• A competitive GRE score is required for the doctoral program, with a minimum score of 300 (150V, 150Q) considered competitive.
• There is no waiver for the GRE.
