Admission and Application Process

Ad/PR is a restricted access major. That means you have to apply to the program to major in it. Applicants must have 45 hours earned by the deadline date to apply.

Ad/PR is a very popular major and more students want to major in it than we can get through the program. Most of our classes are very small, limited to 18 students. Forty students are admitted each semester and the criteria to be admitted is overall grade point average, or GPA. The applications are lined up from highest GPA to lowest, a line is drawn below the 40th applicant, and those above the line are admitted.

The GPA cut-off changes every semester based on the applicant pool, but it does tend to hover around a 3.3. In recent years the lowest GPA has been a 3.1 and the highest has been a 3.72. The GPA we consider is your cumulative GPA, and it includes your grades from all colleges or universities you've attended.There is a GPA calculator on UCF's Web site that you may find helpful.
