The University of Texas at Dallas

Welcome to The University of Texas at Dallas, a young, dynamic research institution on the cutting edge of science, technology, medicine, business and the arts.

Born at the dawn of the information age, UT Dallas helped pioneer new fields in science and technology and created sought-after degree programs that did not exist a generation ago. These include geospatial information science, cognitive sciences, emerging media and communications, nanotechnology and materials science, among others.

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.

The University has a unique heritage born of its pioneering spirit. Located in the center of one of the most dynamic economic and demographic regions of the nation, UT Dallas owes its existence to three visionaries, Cecil Green, J. Erik Jonsson and Eugene McDermott, who deeply valued education and entrepreneurial activity.
