For Recruits

This page is set up to give prospective student-athletes and their families an overview of the University of North Texas, with links to information on each sport and to UNT websites.

The University of North Texas, the 26th largest university in the nation with approximately 38,000 students, is located in Denton, Texas, a city with a population of more than 130,000, situated 30 minutes north of Dallas and Fort Worth and recently named the Best Small Town in America by Rand McNally and USA TODAY.

Historically known as an arts, music, and education school, North Texas has continued that tradition but has also increased its influence in research, sciences, engineering, and business. UNT recently built an 87,000-square-foot Life Sciences building that includes 24,000-square feet of research labs, as well as the 180,000-square foot Business Leadership Complex. North Texas has over one hundred majors available.

The beautifully landscaped, tree-filled 900-acre campus features award-winning architecture that has drawn film crews to Denton to shoot movies, television shows, and commercials.

North Texas has more than 300 student organizations, including 30 sororities and fraternities.

The University Union, which recently underwent a major renovation and expansion, has long hosted film festivals, concerts, art exhibitions, and guest lectures by renowned writers, artists, and cultural figures. The Union also offers table tennis and pool in the Union Syndicate.

The 138,000-square-foot Pohl Recreation Center offers a range of workout equipment, as well as new adventures through its outdoor pursuits program. North Texas also has a full recreational-sports program, with club teams in baseball, bowling, cycling, dodgeball, fencing, ice hockey, in-line hockey, indoor soccer, lacrosse, rugby, soccer, ultimate disc, volleyball, paintball, running, sailing, swimming, table tennis, tennis, triathlon, wakeboarding, and wrestling.
