UNT System

About Us

The University of North Texas System serves the North Texas area, boosting economic activity in the region by $1.3 billion annually. More than 37,000 students are enrolled in undergraduate, graduate and professional programs, and system enrollment is projected to increase to about 50,000 students by 2015.

The UNT System awards more than 5,300 degrees each year, including the largest number of master's and doctoral degrees in the region. More than 100,000 alumni live and work in the North Texas area.

The UNT System has three components.

  • UNT at Denton, founded in 1890, is the flagship university of the UNT System, a student-centered research university. It is the state's fourth largest university and the most comprehensive university in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. UNT has more than 34,000 students enrolled in 96 bachelor's, 111 master's and 50 doctoral degree programs.
  • UNT Health Science Center at Fort Worth was established in 1970. It focuses on the training of future osteopathic physicians, on providing an increasing number of health profession programs, and conducting a vigorous research program. UNTHSC is nationally recognized for leadership in developing primary care physicians.
  • UNT Dallas Campus (also known as the System Center) was established in 1999 to enhance access to public higher education in Dallas and Ellis counties. It is located on 264 donated acres at Camp Wisdom and Houston School roads. The school offers junior-, senior- and graduate-level courses leading to bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. The name will change to UNT at Dallas when enrollment at the Dallas Campus equals 1,000 full-time equivalent students. It will then become the first public university in the city of Dallas.
