Expanding Opportunities in North Texas

After serving residents of Collin County and the surrounding areas through the Collin Higher Education Center (CHEC) since Fall 2009, UNT expanded its services to students in the Frisco area in January 2016 with the opening of classrooms at Hall Park. And in May 2018, UNT and the City of Frisco announced a partnership that will create a branch campus to serve a growing number of students long into the future. Since that announcement UNT students, faculty and staff, and Frisco area partners worked with design consultants Ayers Saint Gross on a plan for the branch campus that is expected to open with 27 undergraduate and master’s level programs. Currently, students may take classes in 23 undergraduate and master’s level programs at Hall Park, Inspire Park and the Collin Higher Education Center (CHEC).
