Students want to know that a UNT degree will help them succeed. Surveys show UNT graduates get good jobs in their field. While our cost is lower than some other state universities, UNT graduates' average pay is similar to that of graduates from more expensive colleges.

Most programs offer hands-on experience in your field before graduation. Internships provide invaluable training and a head start on your career. UNT's nationally accredited Cooperative Education program provides students with paid, supervised positions related to their field of study, often for several semesters. Some students even receive academic credit for their work and permanent job offers after graduation.

When you're nearing completion of your bachelor's degree, job placement services are available to help you find a full-time job. The Career Center offers one-on-one advising, web-based job listings and on-campus interviews with employers. Also, Dallas is one of the 10 best cities in the country for college graduates seeking entry-level jobs.

UNT graduates work at top corporations, including American Airlines, EDS, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Federal Express, Fidelity, Frito-Lay, JCPenney, Southwest Airlines, Target and Texas Instruments.

Did you know that most college graduates earn about $1 million more in their lifetime — about $23,000 more per year — than people without a bachelor's degree?

If you want to graduate faster and start earning sooner, take advantage of UNT's new tuition structure. As a full-time* undergraduate student you will pay about the same tuition/fee rate regardless of how many hours you take. You can graduate earlier without paying much more.

Take more classes, save money now and earn more money sooner — sounds good, doesn't it? Plan now to graduate in four years by taking 15 hours per semester. See the details on our new tuition program at www.unt.edu/tuition.

* Enrolled in 12 or more semester credit hours

Loans are also available to help you pay for college.

About 66 percent of UNT students receive financial aid totaling $202 million annually. More than $16.8 million in scholarships is awarded each year at UNT.

Student employment is available, including more than 3,800 on-campus jobs and many more off campus.
