People & Programs: New Online Graduate Certificate Programs Create ‘Stackable’ Pathway to University of Texas at Austin Master’s Degree
The Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin has launched a new program allowing learners to pursue career-focused course bundles that can be applied as academic credit toward a graduate degree.
Starting with two 100% online graduate certificates — a Mechanical Engineering Controls Certificate and a Petroleum Engineering Data Analytics Certificate — the program aims to make it easier for remote learners to earn relevant skills and stack credentials.
The stackable certificates are available to individuals who have been admitted to the university as either degree-seeking or non-degree-seeking graduate students, and external learners are encouraged to apply to enhance their engineering skills. Students can apply credit from certificate coursework toward a master’s degree, creating a stackable pathway for advanced education.
