Enrollment and Graduation Data
Fast-Track Bachelor of Science/Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering Program
The Department also offers a Fast Track BS/MS program that allows select UTEP Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering students to use graduate classes to satisfy up to 12 standard credit hours (SCH) for the BS degree and MS degree. This effectively reduces the total time to compete a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering by one semester. Students interested in this program should contact Iliana Treviño at itrevino2@utep.edu by the end of their sophomore year.
