Overview

An En-Route Master's degree is one that is earned by doctoral (Ph.D.) students at the same time that they are working on their doctoral degree. 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. 

EDP students may choose to earn an en-route master's in their current program area, or another. For en-route master's in the same specialization as the doctoral degree, most course requirements will already be fulfilled as part of the doctoral degree program. Some students choose an en-route master's in an area outside their area of specialization - these en-route degrees involve a varying amount of additional coursework and requirements.

The options below, with the exception of the QM En-Route degree, are only available to current doctoral students in the Department of Educational Psychology at UT Austin. The QM En-Route degree is available to current doctoral students at the University of Texas at Austin (application and approval from the EDP QM Area Chair is required).
