UT Tyler Current Graduate Student and Alumni Profiles

One of the greatest advantages of UT Tyler is our community, whether online or on campus. Getting to know current students and alumni can help you gain a better understanding of what it means – academically, personally and professionally – to be a graduate student at UT Tyler. View by program.

New Graduate Fellowship Recipient Spotlight

For many UT Tyler graduate students, a fellowship makes it possible for them to pursue higher education. It allows them to focus on their studies instead of worrying about finances. The New Graduate Fellowship rewards students for their achievements and encourages them to accomplish even more.

Get a Study Buddy! Going Back to School With a Friend is a Great Idea

Going to graduate school with a friend can make all the difference in keeping you motivated and on track! Applying to UT Tyler’s graduate school with a friend can have another perk too—you can save money! The Graduate School will waive both your application fees when you apply with someone else. So apply with a friend and you’ll get an instant study buddy AND save money! Email OGS@uttyler.edu to see how you and your Study Buddy can have your $50 application fee waived!
