    9.- Academic Common Market

    UTEP is a participating member of the Academic Common Market, a cooperative tuition-reduction agreement among fourteen Southern Regional Education Board states. If the public institutions in your home state do not offer a degree program in your chosen field of study, it may be possible to arrange a waiver of non-resident tuition to attend UTEP (or any other cooperating public institution of higher education in an Academic Common Market state) for that program. Likewise, Texas residents may be eligible for resident-rate tuition for member-state schools for degree programs not available in Texas public institutions. A listing of member states and eligible degree programs are available in the Office of Graduate Student Services.
