ABOUT DALLAS
The University of Texas at Dallas is in beautiful suburban Richardson, a prime location just north of Dallas, situated in the second largest state and the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is one the nation’s largest urban areas, with shopping, entertainment venues – including five major sports teams – and museums and art galleries. There is an incredible variety of things to see and do within an easy commute to the UT Dallas campus.
Because the DFW metroplex is one of America’s busiest and fastest growing business regions, UTD graduates are highly sought after and heavily recruited by leading local and national companies, as well as recipients of prestigious graduate fellowships, scholarships and advanced research opportunities. Dallas is also home to more than 600 high-tech, biomedical and start-up companies seeking talent and technology. UTD’s graduating classes report a rate of approximately 88% for employment or continuing education upon graduation. Nearly all the Fortune Global 500 companies headquartered in the DFW area, and many of Fortune’s 20 Most Profitable Companies regularly recruit UTD students and alumni.
More resources about the DFW community are available on the Family & Visitors page.
