The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD)
The University of Texas at Dallas offers high quality study and research
opportunities at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Eighty-one degrees
are available: 16 at the doctoral level, 32 masters and 33 undergraduate
degrees. UTD comprises seven schools: Arts and Humanities, General
Studies, Human Development, Management, Natural Sciences and Mathematics,
Social Sciences, and the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer
Science. It was founded in 1962 as a private research institute for
graduate studies and later became a part of The University of Texas
System. In September 1975, UTD admitted its first junior and senior level
students. In January 1990, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
approved the Legislative Initiative to expand the University. Enrollment
is now at an all-time high of 8,100 students. The University maintains
exchanges of faculty and students with colleagues from Africa, Barbados,
China, Greenland, India, Italy, Germany, Mexico, and Switzerland.
Collaborative research projects in Accounting, Astronomy and Space
Sciences, Geophysics, Meteorology, Microbiology, and Geology are being
conducted in these and other countries. Special facilities at UTD include
the Center for International Accounting Development, the Joint Center for
Management Studies (with China), the Center for Lithospheric Studies, the
