New Offerings from UT Tyler

TYLER — The University of Texas at Tyler is now offering accelerated degree tracks that allow students to earn a degree faster and begin working sooner. Officials say these programs allow students to complete a bachelor of science in just three years and include the flexibility of a summer schedule that is entirely online.

In a separate move, UT Tyler is currently accepting students for a program developed to meet the growing demand for more engineers in Texas. UTT, in partnership with Houston Community College, has established the UT Tyler Houston Center for Engineering to help engineering students earn a four-year degree. Beginning this fall, Houston area students will have the convenience of taking HCC and UT Tyler courses at the new center, located on the HCC Alief-Hayes Campus.
