    In 1942 the History Department, a component of today's College of Liberal Arts, awarded UTEP's first master's degree. Since then, most of the departments in the College have developed graduate programs. MA programs are available in Art, Communication, English, History, Linguistics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Spanish, and Theatre Arts. In addition to the MA, the Political Science Department offers the Master in Public Administration Degree (MPA) and, in conjunction with the College of Business Administration, a joint MBA/MPA degree option. The Department of Music offers the Master of Music (MM) degree with options in Performance and in Music Education. The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) with a major in creative writing is an interdisciplinary program with options in English, Spanish, or bilingual. In September, 1993, the first students began course work in the PhD program in Applied Research Psychology-- the first doctoral degree program in Liberal Arts.

    Students wishing to expand their knowledge in areas outside their previous training or present profession may pursue the Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies. Students in this program take MAIS courses that emphasize cross-disciplinary approaches, with encouragement to pursue an individualized course of study designed to further their particular interdisciplinary interests.

    Also offered is a joint UTEP-UT Austin doctorate with a concentration in Border Studies. Students in this program can complete much of their course work in residence at UTEP with the doctoral degree awarded by UT Austin.
