Undergraduate Tracks

Tracks are courses in a second field of study designed by the College of Education. Most tracks consist of 15 hours, six of which must be upper-division. Tracks do not appear on your UT Austin transcript or diploma but they are reflected on your profile record and degree audit. Any combination of courses can be used to complete a track as long as six hours are upper-division.
