Which majors can I study at UT?

UT offers more than 170 areas of study across colleges including business, engineering, architecture, and the sciences, with different degrees and entry requirements for each program. Search by program or college, then open the degree plan for your catalog year. If you’re already at UT and want to change colleges, internal-transfer requirements decide how and when you can apply.

Major, honors, dual degree: what’s the difference?

The choices behind the program name
ChoiceWhat it means
MajorThe main subject within your degree
HonorsExtra admission and curriculum requirements
Dual degreeAn approved plan for two degrees
Integrated programA connected bachelor’s and graduate-degree route

Canfield is an honors program. Integrated MPA is a five-year accounting route. Read the McCombs comparison if either is on your list.

What should I check before choosing classes?

  1. Find the degree plan for your major and catalog year.
  2. Check the prerequisites for the classes you want.
  3. Use the current Course Schedule for offered sections and seats.
  4. Run your degree audit to see where existing credit counts.
  5. Bring missing credit or substitution questions to advising.

Why does one subject list more than one degree?

The same subject can lead to different degrees with different class requirements. A BA and a BS aren’t interchangeable just because the major name is the same.

Open the school’s requirements before deciding. The best choice is the degree whose required classes fit what you want to study.

Questions

Does getting into UT guarantee my requested major?

No. UT considers major selection separately, and some schools have extra requirements. Read the instructions for the major you want.

Will UT consider my second-choice major?

UT says it may consider your second choice if you qualify for automatic admission and don’t get your first choice. It isn’t a guaranteed backup place.

Pay differs between degree variants

For UT graduates working in Texas and covered by seekUT, seekUT reports first-year median pay of $112,200 for Computer Science BSCS and $102,300 for Computer Science BSA. These are 2020–2024 graduates, with earnings expressed in 2025 dollars. The degree belongs beside the subject name.

The earnings and debt investigation preserves all 174 historical code-and-degree entries and connects today’s catalog choices to their supported historical candidates. The lookup labels single candidates, multiple candidates and unmatched choices. Check the degree, graduating class and work group before using a pay figure in your decision.

How we got this

The searchable list uses the catalog’s 128 program-and-degree rows from fifteen school groups. UT Admissions’ broader “170+ areas of study” describes a different list; neither is a count of open places. Both were checked October 27, 2026.

Some rows contain several degrees. Pharmacy’s PharmD is professional study, not a first undergraduate degree. The catalog and Admissions present Strategy and Statecraft under different groups, so the school headings shouldn’t replace the program’s own application instructions.
