Location
Students can take courses online, in-person or mixed-mode formats. The face-to-face option is located at UCF Downtown, where you’ll be steps away from government agencies and nonprofit partners that shape the future of Central Florida. This proximity leads to powerful learning opportunities, meaningful mentorship and direct access to industry collaborations.
