Our creative, interdisciplinary efforts are revolutionizing how we light our world, creating the next generation of bioplastics, expanding our understanding of developmental physiology and exploring how technology impacts art.

Industry and research converge at UNT. Our nearly 290-acre Discovery Park promotes innovative research programs and technology-driven economic opportunities. Researchers test and analyze materials from the micro to atomic level, discovering solutions to reduce jet engine decay and to build more economical and longer lasting roadways. 

Discovery reaches beyond the laboratories, classrooms, etc. Our wide scope of research, scholarship and creative activities creates a comprehensive environment of education and learning. Founded in 1890 as a teacher’s training college and well known for its music school and humanities programs, UNT has evolved into a broad-based public research university with global impact.
