UF Quest

Quest is a shared and sequential undergraduate education curriculum. Shifting focus from memorization to deeper understanding, bypassing standardized tests in favor of close reading, critical thinking, and effective communication of ideas, UF Quest promotes a high level of faculty engagement in undergraduate education. UF Quest nurtures the intellectual curiosity of UF students and invites them to grapple with the difficult questions and challenges that they will face as thoughtful adults navigating a complex and interconnected world.

Why UF Quest?

An ambitious project to enhance undergraduate education.
