Concurrent Enrollment in UTHealth Graduate Program is Available for BAT HST Majors
UTRGV is excited to offer our College of Science and College of Health Professions undergraduate students a new accelerated program. Our school is collaborating with The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, also known as UTHealth, to provide the new accelerated curriculum in both Public Health and Biomedical Informatics.
As opposed to the traditional four years of undergraduate work and two years of graduate study, you can earn both your bachelor’s and master’s degree in just five years. By overlapping graduate curriculum with your current undergraduate courses, you can earn both a bachelor’s degree and a graduate certificate at the same time. Students then have the option to continue their studies and earn an accelerated Master of Public Health or Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics.
Both programs offer online or in-person instruction that can be completed in the RGV. Additionally, UTHealth has a local Program Manager to provide advising support for UTRGV students both interested in and enrolled in the accelerated program.
In order to be considered, UTRGV College of Science and College of Health Professions students must meet the following requirements:
- Must have at least a 3.0 GPA in undergraduate work
- Must have at least 72 semester credit hours satisfactorily completed prior to enrolling in the program
- Must be in good standing at UTRGV
Deadlines for program admission are: Spring - October 1st. Summer - February 1st and Fall - June 1st. If you meet the above criteria and would like additional information, you may contact the UTH Program Manager Jeanette L. Broshears at 956-755-0678 or by email at Jeanette.L.Broshears@uth.tmc.edu.
