Master’s Degree Graduate Certificate Non-Degree Admissions & Tuition
With numerous careers in the medical sciences industry, offering a single master’s degree certainly won’t cover all the skills and knowledge you need to achieve your dream career. That’s why we offer multiple online master’s degrees, allowing you to choose the program that best aligns with your goals and interests:
- Master’s Degree in Medical Physiology and Pharmacology
- Master’s Degree in Medical Physiology and Aging
- Master’s Degree in Medical Anatomy and Physiology
- Master’s Degree in Anatomical Sciences Education
Whichever path you choose, you can feel confident knowing that you’re receiving a quality education from one of U.S. News’ top 50 national universities and learning from some of the most experienced professors in the industry. In addition, all of our programs are completely asynchronous, so you can complete your coursework anywhere, anytime.
Did we mention that we have no GRE requirements and accept students year-round? Apply when you’re ready and begin your journey toward a master’s degree any time of the year.
Professor and Program Director, Dr. Sayeski, Discusses the Benefits of Online Learning
Whether you’re a working professional or a full-time student, your daily schedule keeps you busy.

Our certificates are ideal for a range of individuals, including those who plan to:
- Apply to medical, nursing or physician assistant schools.
- Take a gap year to prepare for exams like the MCAT or National Boards.
- Use their new skillset in their current or future career.
To learn more about each program’s focus and the type of online courses they offer, choose one of the certificate options below:
- 9-Credit Medical Physiology Certificate
- 12-Credit Cardiovascular/Renal Physiology Certificate
- 12-Credit Medical Human Anatomy Certificate
- 12-Credit Anatomical Sciences Education Certificate
- 15-Credit Medical Anatomy and Physiology Certificate
Earning a Graduate Certificate Online
We created our online format to accommodate busy schedules, both personal and professional. Earning a graduate certificate online boasts many advantages, including:
- Enhancing your knowledge via online modules.
- Using a digital format to supplement your learning with helpful learning tools like images, animations and case studies.
- Implementing step-by-step instructions for coursework and assessments.
- Accessing UF library materials and e-journals.
- Interacting with teaching assistants, course instructors and other students with the help of private course email, discussion boards and live chat sessions.
If you’re interested in learning more about a particular topic but you’re not ready to commit to a graduate certificate or degree program, that’s okay. You can still enroll in graduate courses as a non-degree seeking student. In this role, you can:
- Strengthen your skills in a specific topic.
- Ease into the online graduate learning experience.
- Decide if earning a graduate certificate or degree program is right for you.
After taking classes as a non-degree seeking student, you can transfer some of those credits toward your master’s degree or graduate certificate later (if you’re admitted and earned a grade of “B” or higher).
What you should know when enrolling as a non-degree seeking student:
- Students enrolled in courses within the medical physiology graduate certificate program can take up to 4 credit hours as a non-degree seeking student.
- Students may take up to 6 credits as a non-degree seeking student in any of the following programs:
- Cardiovascular/renal physiology graduate certificate
- Medical human anatomy graduate certificate
- Medical anatomy and physiology graduate certificate
- Anatomical sciences education graduate certificate
- Master’s degree in anatomical sciences education
- Master’s degree in medical anatomy and physiology
- Master’s degree in medical physiology and pharmacology
- Master’s degree in medical physiology and aging
- Students pursuing coursework from the Graduate Certificate in Medical Physiology program in non-degree status must take GMS6440: Fundamentals of Medical Physiology (1 credit) prior to other courses.
- Students pursuing coursework from the Graduate Certificate in Medical Physiology with a specialization in Cardiovascular/Renal Physiology program in non-degree status must take GMS6400c: Principles of Medical Physiology (6 credits).
