    mjbsn2006 replied to tx2007's topic in Texas

    No you don't have to move closer unless you think you will need to go to campus to meet with the instructors. Most of the classes are online, you don't have to come to the campus to do courses until you do the Thesis classes and 1 or 2 under the spe...

11. UT Tyler
