Adding a New Degree Program

All new degree programs require approval from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB). 

• Colleges and Schools must fill out 2 forms for a proposed new degree:
  • THECB New Degree Certification Form (“Short Form”)
  • THECB New Degree Full Request Form (“Long Form”)

Proposers will be prompted to complete and upload these documents in the UT Qualtrics form. The Provost's Office will submit these documents to THECB.

A 30-day notification period to public institutions within a 50-mile radius is required for new degree programs. The Provost’s Office will manage the notification process.
