The University of Texas at Tyler launched new academic programs this fall. New offerings are the Master of Occupational Therapy, Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, Bachelor of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders as well as an online Master of Science in Criminal Justice.
"As we become the educational and economic driver of East Texas, we are excited to offer these additional academic programs to our students," said Dr. Amir Mirmiran, UT Tyler provost and vice president for academic affairs. "We know they will use their UT Tyler degree to become successful professionals in their chosen careers, and in turn, strengthen both the region and Texas workforce."
