ETAMU CBE Master Degrees

While the programs themselves have not yet been added to the 2025-2026 graduate catalog, it looks like the courses have been:
https://coursecatalog.tamuc.edu/grad/courses/

Look under the College of Innovation and Design heading to select the program you're interested in.

Those classes might be for their regular master’s degrees. They do have a fully online (NON-CBE) degree. They have a MS in Organization, Learning and Technology.

Based on a review of the course description, it looks like the minimum amount of time for each program will be two sessions- the description for the "research" requirement in each program includes both prerequisites and a statement that "Students are not allowed to accelerate into this course during a term."  These courses appear to be designed as a capstone for the program, since they also include a statement that "Students will also take their comprehensive exams as a part of this course for completion of their master’s degree".  

Assuming everything else previously announced is accurate and there are no additional promotions that would seem to make the minimum cost for a Texas resident $4000 ($2000 x two terms).

Yeah based on my experience with the Bachelor’s degrees, I would expect this to take at minimum 2 terms, for a total of $4,000 as you said. Great deal for Texas Residents like myself. Still deciding between one of these and the upcoming MSB from UMPI.

You may want to look at the classes each Masters offer, sometimes the name of the degree matters, but for me, I like to review classes taught more than the degree name. If the classes interest me more, I'd rather take those towards the degree, than taking random classes. For Texans, ETAMU Masters options are awesome first choices, UMPI/WGU should be backup options unless you really wanted something from them that's not offered at ETAMU...

I finally had some time to read over the link better and it looks like you’re right. That last class can’t be accelerated into. Interesting

It looks like there's some sort of new complication.  The THECB page says that the MEd in Instructional Design program application was withdrawn by the institution today (9/2/2025).  Who knows what's happening now.
