Welcome to The University of Texas at Dallas, a young, dynamic
research institution on the cutting edge of science, technology, business and the arts.
Starting as a research institute and later developing graduate
and undergraduate programs UT Dallas provides a unique learning
environment. It is host to seven schools, offers an array of
interdisciplinary degree programs, and features a student population as diverse as its areas of study.
Since its inception in 1961 as the Graduate Research Center
of the Southwest, an outgrowth of technology giant Texas
Instruments, UT Dallas fosters a strong tradition of academic excellence.
UT Dallas became part of the UT System in 1969, offered only
graduate degrees until 1975, and admitted its first freshman class
in 1990. Today, it ranks at or near the top in the number of
computer science degrees awarded each year in the United
States.
With a current enrollment of more than 14,000 students and a
world-class faculty that includes a
Nobel laureate, UT Dallas
aims to provide Texas and the nation with the benefits of educational and
research programs of the highest quality. By merging theory with
practice in classrooms and at the university's 29 research centers, we challenge curious
minds to find the answers to their questions.
Apartment-style living on campus is
available to all students. In short, UT Dallas
provides a quality education and a wealth of opportunities to
anyone striving to reach their potential.
The UT Dallas campus continues to grow, recently completing an
$85 million, state-of-the-art Natural Science and Engineering
Research Building, fueling UT Dallas's drive to become a "tier one"
academic research institution. The 25-year campus master plan, which was recently
approved, details a slate of new projects scheduled through the
year 2027.
