We are a PhD program only, however, students are able to "claim" their masters degree while working on their way to a PhD. Claiming your masters is not required.
Students who wish to apply for their master’s should:
- Email the Graduate Program Administrator at chemegrad@utexas.edu
- Ask to have the program of work for the degree option they are seeking loaded onto their records
Once this is done, they can apply for master’s graduation online at the beginning of the semester they wish to graduate. Review the different types of Masters degree here - MSE Requirements
Students should understand and comply with the Graduate School requirements and deadlines for master’s degree submission. Graduate students are responsible for the costs of thesis preparation and publication.
Report or Thesis option students must be registered for CHE 398R (Master's Report) or CHE 398B (Master's Thesis) during the semester they graduate. Otherwise, their graduation application will not be accepted by the Graduate School.
