About The University of Texas

Set in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, The University of Texas at Arlington blends an urban setting with green quads and easy study nooks. It's known for strengths in engineering, health, business, and education, with a reputation for hands-on coursework. Students tap modern labs and studios, a busy library and rec center, plus tutoring, advising, counseling, and support for first-gen and veteran students.

Student life is active and unpretentious: cultural orgs, intramurals, concerts, and long evenings under Texas skies. Bed races and a mud volleyball tourney add a wink of humor. Career prep runs through internships and employer projects tied to regional tech, aerospace, health care, and logistics, with alumni connections across the Metroplex. Off campus, pro sports and global food are close. Notable alumni include astronaut Kalpana Chawla and actor Lou Diamond Phillips.
