Information and Requirements
Beginning Fall 2014, all EDP doctoral students admitted without a master’s in the field must complete an en-route master’s before receiving the doctoral degree.
...
Any student earning an en-route master’s degree must contact the Graduate Coordinator (1) as soon as the en-route degree is decided upon, and (2) the semester prior to graduation. In order to earn the degree, students will apply online to graduate with their master’s on the Graduate School website at the start of the semester in which they will be completing all the master's degree requirements.

S.S.P. Specialization: School Psychology
This en-route master's is intended for School Psychology doctoral students. If paired with a school-based internship, it is designed to prepare students for licensure as a Specialist in School Psychology in the state of Texas. Note that students who earn a PhD in School Psychology at UT are also eligible for LSSP licensure. This en-route MA overlaps with, but is different from, the MA in School Psychology option listed above.
LSSP Requirements: Note that an internship is required to pursue licensure as an LSSP. Please view the LSSP Requirements from the Psychologists’ Licensing Act and Rules and Regulations of the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (published July 1, 2005).
M.A. Specialization: Counseling Psychology
This en-route master's is intended for Counseling Psychology doctoral students. This en-route degree is not a license-eligible master's, and is not available as a terminal master's degree. Students who plan to pursue a career in clinical work are advised to choose the specialization in Counseling Psychology, since a clinically-oriented master’s degree is preferred by some internships settings. Students who plan to pursue a career in academia may prefer one of the non-clinical master’s degree options.
