UT Dallas

Starting as a research institute – and later developing graduate and undergraduate programs – UTD 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, UTD fosters a strong tradition of academic excellence. UTD became part of the U. T. 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 two Nobel laureates, UTD 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, including freshmen. In short, UTD provides a quality education and a wealth of opportunities to anyone striving to reach their potential.

The UTD campus continues to grow, breaking ground in 2004 on an $85 million, state-of-the-art Natural Science and Engineering Research Building, fueling UTD'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.
