About us
Who we are
As our campus transitions from a branch campus of the University of North Texas to a free-standing, degree granting institution, you’ll start to see many changes on our website and in our institution. We will gradually phase out the name “UNT Dallas Campus” in favor of our new name, "The University of North Texas at Dallas."
The University of North Texas at Dallas will be a 21st century teaching institution and a component of the University of North Texas System. Founded in 2000 as the UNT Dallas Campus by the University of North Texas in Denton, the flagship of the UNT System, UNT Dallas will accept its first freshman class in Fall 2010. The University’s goal will be to train citizens to be productive and lead in a global environment and to promote the values of virtue, civility, reasoning and accountability.
During the transition, all UNT Dallas academic programs will remain accredited because we will remain in association with UNT in Denton as we develop our own academic programs.
The University of North Texas is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097 or call 404-679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of the University of North Texas.
SACS accreditation for thebachelor’s and master’s degree programs offered by the University of North Texas at Dallas is held at the University of North Texas in Denton. Following its acceptance of freshmen in 2010, UNT Dallas will seek SACS accreditation as a separate institution.

Taking college full circle
For Leticia Trujillo, the next logical step after community college wasn't a huge university.
"I like the smaller class feel better than a huge university classroom," Trujillo says.
Trujillo, a Tarrant County College grad, is earning a bachelor's degree in business at UNT Dallas.
"UNT Dallas seemed more comfortable and was on a smaller scale. Plus, I work in Dallas, so I needed evening classes. I don't want to drive far in the evening from work to school to home," she says.
Leticia Trujillo is a Technical Analyst at Coca-Cola and lives in Grand Prairie, Texas.
