A Degree Plan, also called a "Program of Work" is a list of courses and other requirements to complete your degree. At UT, there are two versions of your Degree Plan available:

(1) Blank Degree Plan PDFs are available in UT Box. These can serve as a helpful user-friendly guide for planning your courses and sharing your progress with faculty advisers.

...

 IMPORTANT: The year listed on the Degree Plan refers to the cohort year - the year a student enters the program. So a 2025 Degree Plan is for students entering in 2025.

(2) UT's Graduate Degree Planner is your official Degree Plan that UT uses to verify your degree at graduation. This lists all your completed and pending degree requirements.

New Students

Before or during Orientation, new students should review their Degree Plan to see what courses are required for the degree, and submit any Course Waiver Requests. Course descriptions can be found in the UT Catalog, and syllabi in the UT Syllabi Search system. Your Graduate Degree Planner will be available during Orientation.

...

The EDP Website provides information primarily for prospective students (as opposed to the Student Handbook, which is the resource for current students). Any program requirements listed on the website vs. handbook are typically specific to the most recent cohort year. As requirements may differ between cohorts, always defer to your individual Program of Work for course requirements. Your faculty adviser, Area Chair, and Graduate Adviser can also provide clarification when needed.
