Student Testimonials

Brandon Borick

Brandon Borick, MS ’22

The M.S. in Marketing Fast Track Program was one of the most valuable opportunities I was able to take advantage of during my time at UT Dallas. In five years, I was able to attain both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree, which has opened opportunities many entry-level business professionals don’t often receive.


The fast-track program allowed me to learn from world-class professors, land an internship in my field and graduate with my master’s degree in the same amount of time that most of my classmates will graduate with their bachelor’s.”
