UT Austin / Majors & degree planning
UT Austin majors and degree programs
To compare UT Austin majors, start with the program, awarding school and degree credential, then check that school’s entry rules and your catalog-year requirements. Admissions describes 170+ areas of study; that is not an exact count of standalone majors, and honors, dual and integrated paths have distinct meanings.
Scroll the table to compare every column.
| Option | What to compare | Official starting point |
|---|---|---|
| Major / degree program | Field, school, BA/BSA/BS or other credential and curriculum | Admissions program list + current catalog |
| Honors program | Additional application and honors curriculum | The named honors program’s own instructions |
| Dual degree | Two degree credentials and the approved combined plan | Current catalog dual-degree section |
| Integrated undergraduate/graduate path | Entry stage and bachelor’s/master’s sequence | The integrated program’s requirements |
A course listing is evidence about a course, not proof of a degree, an approved second major or admission to a program. Checked October 27, 2026.

No catalog entries match. Clear a filter or use the official Admissions directory; an empty view does not establish that UT has no related program.
Original catalog tables ↗. Department headings are excluded; multiple degree abbreviations stay in one source row. Dual/integrated tables are separate source sections. Program and school labels can differ from the Admissions presentation.
The catalog table links each school’s curriculum source. Use that school catalog to open the actual program requirements, then choose the applicable catalog year and degree plan with advising. The directory is a comparison of published labels, not an automated degree-requirement database.
A row with two or three credentials does not mean those curricula or admission processes are interchangeable. For example, the source lists Design as BADesign/BFA and Physics as BA/BSA/BSPhy. Compare the intended degree’s requirements rather than selecting by the shared field name alone.

Check the school’s freshman and transfer entry rules
Scroll the table to compare every column.
| School / program | Published entry distinction | Additional check |
|---|---|---|
| McCombs | Freshman summer/fall; external transfer fall; applicants use unspecified business | Specific BBA major selected after enrollment; honors process separate |
| Cockrell Engineering | Freshman summer/fall; external transfer fall | Calculus readiness and extra transfer coursework; specific program rules |
| Architecture | Freshman and transfer fall only | Required creative material; transfer program/portfolio requirements |
| Fine Arts | Freshman and transfer fall only | First-choice preference and applicable artistic requirements |
| Education · Sport Management | Apply as Physical Culture and Sports, then apply to Sport Management after prerequisites | This is an entry-stage instruction, not a promise of later admission |
Selected examples from the current official Admissions program page, checked October 27, 2026. Read the complete school-specific list for the current cycle and your applicant type.
The 2027 admissions guide separates applicant pathways, application and material deadlines, testing and MyStatus. A general university offer, automatic-admission eligibility and selection for the requested major are different decisions.
For a second-choice major, UT’s FAQ says you may be considered if you qualify for automatic admission and are not admitted to the first choice. That is conditional consideration, not a guaranteed backup route. Choose an actual academic fit and read the official policy.

Honors, dual and integrated programs are different options
An honors program adds its own admission and curriculum requirements. A dual degree is an approved route to two degree credentials; an integrated undergraduate/graduate program connects those stages. Do not count a label with “honors” or a combined plan as simply another interchangeable standalone major.
Architecture/Architectural Engineering is marked as a dual degree on Admissions. Integrated MPA is marked as an integrated undergraduate/graduate program. Texas CSB and ECB are additional combined honors paths with their own requirements; a BBA major list does not describe all of their application rules.
For McCombs, the BBA program comparison keeps Canfield and iMPA distinct and shows why the catalog-year plan matters. A degree audit can compare program progress; it does not approve a new major or combined plan by itself.

Use course facts after choosing the program question
- Record the intended school, program, credential and applicant entry term.
- Open its official curriculum and the applicable catalog-year plan.
- Check current prerequisites, credit exclusions and course restrictions in the course explorer and original catalog.
- Use the actual Course Schedule for current offerings, seats and times; a catalog description is not a section.
- Run your degree audit and take unresolved placement or substitution questions to the authorized adviser.
Historical grades add a dated aggregate with its denominator and coverage limits. They cannot identify the best major for a person, establish an available seat or predict a degree or employment result. Read the grade-data guide before comparing historical distributions.

Read the directory’s counts with their scope
This page retains 128 rows from fifteen school groups in the official degree-program overview tables. It excludes department headings and keeps several credentials in one source row. It does not reconcile the catalog into the Admissions page’s broader 170+ areas, and it does not imply that each row is a currently open freshman major.
The source includes Pharmacy with PharmD, which is labeled professional in this directory. It also places Strategy and Statecraft under Undergraduate Studies in its table, while Admissions presents the Clements Center partnership. Those source presentations should not be converted into an invented school-ownership or degree-count claim.
Sources were checked October 27, 2026. Program names, plans and entry availability can change; use the current official page and your applicable catalog when making the actual plan.

Questions answered
Which majors and programs are available at UT Austin?
Use the official Admissions Academic Degrees directory and current catalog. Admissions describes 170+ areas of study; this page’s filter retains 128 program/degree rows from fifteen catalog school groups under a different stated scope. Neither number is an interchangeable count of standalone majors.

Which school offers my program?
The directory retains the catalog school heading and links its curriculum source. Check the actual program and credential, especially for joint or integrated offerings. A course department is not enough to establish the awarding school or a degree plan.

Do I apply directly to a specific major?
Follow the school’s instructions. McCombs applicants use unspecified business and choose a specific undergraduate major after enrollment; other schools have program-specific application and entry-term rules. Admission to UT does not guarantee every requested major.

What additional application materials are required?
It depends on the applicant type and school. The official program page includes requirements such as calculus readiness, creative material, portfolios or transfer coursework. Use that current list and MyStatus rather than borrowing another school’s checklist.

How do honors, dual and integrated programs differ?
Honors has its own additional admission/curriculum rules. A dual degree is an approved route to two credentials; an integrated undergraduate/graduate program connects those stages. Keep the actual program label and plan rather than counting each as an interchangeable major.

Will my second-choice major be considered?
UT’s FAQ says you may be considered for the second choice if you qualify for automatic admission and are not admitted to the first choice. That conditional policy is not a guarantee of a backup major or admission to a high-demand school.
