One of two UT System schools in West Texas, the University of Texas of
the Permian Basin (UTPB) provides an alternative to the much larger
University of Texas at El Paso. Yet while it enrolls much fewer students,
UTPB still offers a wide range of academics. More than 40 undergraduate
majors are available, including unique programs like Leadership Studies
and Petroleum Engineering.

In terms of graduate studies, UTPB offers about 20 programs. These
include an MBA that can be completed on campus or online, a Master of
Professional Accountancy and several programs in the arts & sciences.

UT Permian Basin’s admissions requirements vary depending on the type of
applicant. For incoming freshmen, your eligibility is based on your class
ranking and SAT/ACT scores. If you’re in the top 10% of your class, you
don’t need to send in standardized test scores (except for merit
scholarship consideration). On the other hand, if your class ranking is
low, you can make up for it with high SAT or ACT scores.

In addition to federal financial aid, UT Permian Basin funds many
scholarship programs. Merit scholarships for incoming students can earn
you up to $26,000 towards your tuition. UTPB will also match
community-based scholarships up to $1,000.
