Nursing Program Offers Fast-Track Master's Degree Option

UT Tyler will offer a new master's degree option for diploma and associate degree registered nurses, Dr. Susan Yarbrough, assistant dean for graduate nursing programs, has announced.

The master of science in nursing (RN-MSN) degree option is available this spring. Students may apply to this program immediately and may register for classes starting April 1.

Building on the success of the original Mobility in Nursing Education (MINE) program, this option "fast-tracks" the student through the undergraduate completion phase (22 credit hours) directly into the graduate program (36 credit hours). The student is awarded both the bachelor of science in nursing and the master of science in nursing degrees simultaneously upon the successful completion of the program. More>>>

Chemistry Department to Receive Grant for Research

The Welch Foundation has renewed a Chemistry Departmental Grant to The University of Texas at Tyler. The grant is $30,000 per year for three years beginning June 1.

The purpose of the grant is to support chemical research by faculty in the Department of Chemistry and to provide scholarships for students to study chemistry through faculty-supervised research projects.

During the past three years, faculty and students have presented their research at regional and national meetings of the American Chemical Society and Gordon Research conferences. Faculty members have published their research in scientific, peer-reviewed journals.

Based in Houston, the Welch Foundation is one of the nation's oldest and largest private funding sources for basic research. The general policy of the foundation is to support fundamental chemical research at Texas educational institutions.
