UNT System Overview

The University of North Texas System is the only university system with the primary mission of serving the North Texas region. Its four components include:

UNT at Denton, founded in 1890; flagship university of the UNT System; state’s fourth largest university; the most comprehensive university in the Dallas-Fort Worth region; more than 32,000 students enrolled in 93 bachelor’s, 114 master's and 49 doctoral degree programs; a student-centered research university
UNT Health Science Center at Fort Worth, established in 1970; focused on the training of future osteopathic physicians and on providing an increasing number of health profession programs, as well as on conducting a vigorous research program; nationally recognized for leadership in developing primary care physicians
UNT Dallas Campus (also known as the System Center), established in 1999 at I-20 and Hampton Road to enhance access to public higher education in Dallas and Ellis counties; offers junior-, senior- and graduate-level courses leading to bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees
UNT at Dallas, created by the Legislature in 2001, will be opened on 259 donated acres at Camp Wisdom and Houston School roads when enrollment at the Dallas Campus equals 1,000 full-time equivalent students; will be the first public university in the city of Dallas

The UNT System boosts economic activity in the region by $1.3 billion annually. More than 31,000 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.
