Grad Fair

 

Grad Fair 2026

Pursuing a graduate education is one of the biggest decisions an individual will make for their future. Regardless of why you may choose a graduate education, the first step is being informed about your options.

Graduate school is a good choice when the graduate degree will provide you with entry into your desired profession or advance your career. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 7.4 percent of the population ages 18 and older hold a master’s degree, while 1.5 percent have earned a doctorate. Completing a graduate education is a great way to stand out in the workforce and increase career opportunities for a brighter future.

The 2026 Grad Fair is scheduled for Wednesday, September 16, 2026, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the UCF Student Union, within the Cape Florida and Key West Ballrooms. This open-house style event is free and open to anyone interested in a doctoral, master’s, specialist, or certificate program at UCF. With over 200 graduate programs represented, it’s a unique opportunity to connect directly with faculty and staff, explore your academic options, and get all your questions about graduate study answered in one evening. Don’t miss this chance to take the next step in your graduate journey at UCF!

If you are unable to join us for the fair, you may want to explore virtual info sessions, campus tours, and program-specific events on our Discover UCF page!
