Professional Masters of Science
The College of Science “Umbrella” Professional Masters of Science is designed to enhance the marketability of STEM students who do not go on to doctoral programs by matching graduate hours in a specific discipline in science with complementary graduate hours in a discipline which enhances the marketability of students. For those students already enrolled in doctoral programs, the graduate certificates add to the breadth of their degrees. The professional masters includes two parts: 18 graduate hours in one discipline within the College of Science and 15-18 hours in either the same discipline or in a graduate certificate offered by UTEP or another institution – in person or online.
