Academic Bridge Program

The Academic Bridge Program (ABP) seeks to attract, support, and retain students who graduate from Dallas-area urban high schools with high class rankings without having completed the full university-track curriculum.

UTD believes strongly in the capabilities of these students and fosters the Academic Bridge Program as a supportive introductory environment for those who choose to attend UTD.


Diversity of Studies

Interdisciplinary Studies degrees are suitable for students with interests in Business Issues, Communications, Diversity, Environmental Studies, Human Resources, International Relations, Liberal Arts and Sciences, Pre-Health, Pre-Law, and Public Relations.

We can also help customize degree plans to meet other interests. In addition, Interdisciplinary Studies works with The Teacher Development Center to help students incorporate Teacher Certification requirements for EC-4 and 4-8 into their degree plans.
