UT’s Extended Campus also lists other graduate programs in “multiple formats,” like the DNP and an engineering management master’s. They mix online and in-person, so check each program’s page before you count on staying remote.

Every program’s deadline

Is an online degree the same as the on-campus one?UT says the sport management and mechanical engineering diplomas match.

The online sport management program says its diploma is the same as the on-campus MEd. The online mechanical engineering program says you earn the same MSME as the full-time program.

UT’s other online programs don’t post a line like that. Ask the program’s admissions contact if the diploma wording matters to you.
