Student access and success
As a public university, we bear a special responsibility to advance and improve society. Our faculty, staff and students take seriously this obligation to do more to make a difference.
- UNT Emerald Eagle Scholars program gives academically talented undergraduates who have high financial need the best chance at success.
- UNT's G-Force program supports Texas' Closing the Gaps initiative by staffing Go Centers in high schools, where students can get information from current college students about college life and details about aid and admissions.
- UNT's National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students attracts national participation and funds research exploring the needs of transfer students.
- First-Year Experience program connects new students to campus resources and plugs them into UNT's academic and social community so they are more likely to graduate.
Diversity
We have a history of maintaining an unpretentious and accepting atmosphere that welcomes anyone who strives to achieve his or her personal best. UNT possesses and values an increasing diversity among the individuals who make up its community. This is one of our greatest strengths.
- Multicultural Center provides discipline-specific mentors and buddy system mentors who are available to help students with academics, social issues, and interpersonal and leadership skills, as well as cultural awareness.
Sustainability
UNT continues to build on its legacy of conservation and environmentalism, where we teach green, research green, and simply are green in everything we do. UNT offers more than 50 courses with a sustainable focus, faculty are searching for ways to reduce society’s impact, and in its daily operations UNT treads lightly. The campus has a robust recycling program, fuels its vehicles with biodiesel, and is retrofitting buildings for greater energy efficiency while constructing new structures to meet the highest green building standards.
- Office of Sustainability serves as the central point for information collection, organization and dissemination, and coordination of activities related to sustainability.
Fine arts
More than 1,000 Musical concerts, art exhibitions and theater productions are offered by students and faculty annually.
- The College of Visual Arts and Design, among the country's largest and most comprehensive public arts schools, offers lectures and artists' talks as well as rotating art exhibitions in four primary galleries.
- The Murchison Performing Arts Center features two venues — Winspear Hall and the Lyric Theater — that showcase student talent. The outstanding acoustics in Winspear Hall are on par with the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas and the Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth as premier music halls in North Texas.
- The university's nationally recognized College of Music offers more than 1,000 concerts per year, most of them free. Concerts range from intimate solo and chamber music concerts to large scale choral, orchestral, jazz and operatic productions.
