Affording college
Your child’s college education is one of the best investments you’ll ever make. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York recently reported that the value of a bachelor’s degree for the average graduate has held near its all-time high of about $300,000. Furthermore, bachelor’s degree holders can expect to earn 78 percent more over the course of a lifetime than those with only a high school diploma. Simply put, a college degree pays off.
Academic success
UNT students learn in an environment that combines academic excellence, hands-on training and thought-provoking research. We give students an educational experience that challenges and enriches them and gives them the power to compete with anyone, anywhere.
Support for success
According to the National Survey of Student Engagement, more students are happy with their educational experiences at UNT, as compared to peer institutions, and would attend the university again.
Parent success
UNT has an office solely devoted to parent programs, offering many ways for parents to get involved in their student’s college experience. One of the first things you can do to ensure your student makes a successful transition to college is to attend Parent Orientation, which is held concurrently with each Freshman Orientation session.
