Overview

The Fast-Track Program enables outstanding undergraduate UTEP students to receive both undergraduate and graduate credit for up to 15 hours of UTEP course work as determined by participating Master's and Doctoral programs. Not all undergraduate programs have elected to participate in the Fast Track option, so students should see their departmental graduate advisor for information about requirements and guidelines.

Learning outcomes

In addition to these courses, the Department of Biological Sciences at University of Texas El Paso offers undergraduate coursework that spans the great breadth of modern academic biology. It offers specializations in two options within the B.S. degree in Biological Sciences, a Biomedical Track and an Ecology/Evolutionary Biology Track. A concentration in biology for Secondary School Certification is also available.
