The UNT System
The UNT Health Science Center’s Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine is recognized as one of the top medical schools in the nation for primary care.
UNT is the flagship campus of the UNT System, which includes the UNT Health Science Center at Fort Worth and the UNT Dallas Campus. The system is working to establish a public law school in downtown Dallas.
The system is governed by a board of regents appointed by the governor. The board consists of 10 members, including one student regent.
UNT Health Science Center at Fort Worth
A vital part of the system is the UNT Health Science Center at Fort Worth, which includes the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (the state’s only osteopathic medical school), the School of Public Health, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, the Physician Assistant Studies Program and the School of Health Professions.
More than 2,200 students are enrolled at the UNT Dallas Campus, which is on 266 acres.
UNT Dallas
The UNT Dallas Campus has experienced a rapid growth in enrollment and programs since it opened in 2000. Located at 7300 Houston School Road, it offers junior-, senior- and graduate-level courses leading to bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. Its 75,000-square-foot facility features state-of-the-art computer labs, classrooms and a virtual library. The campus is easily accessible by public transportation, and every enrolled student can receive free DART bus and rail passes.
In 2010, UNT Dallas will separate from UNT and become the city’s first public university. It will still be a part of the UNT System.
