Post-Baccalaureate Degree Development Plans Creating a Masters of European Studies: CES has approval from both the dean of the College of Liberal Arts (Randy Diehl) and the dean of LBJ (Ambassador Robert Hutchings) to move forward with the creation and implementation of a joint MA in European Studies that would concentrate on the EU. In fashioning this MA, we also intend to work closely with the Center for East European, Eurasian, and Russian Studies (CREEES), which already has an MA, and the UT School of Law. Our plan is to submit the MA proposal for review in fall 2012. Since it usually takes six months for the proposal to move through the university administrative channels and then receive final approval from the UT-wide system Coordinating Board, we expect that we can begin receiving applications by late 2013, with the plan of admitting our first group of students in fall 2014.
