They bring their research discoveries to inform their teaching and student learning. The education that students receive at UTA is at a level expected from a world-class research university.
In addition to training and shaping the next generation of teachers, administrators, and education policy makers, the college’s faculty have and continue to make enormous contributions to our understanding of educational practice and policy.

UTA is one of just six institutions nationwide this year to earn the Seal of Excelencia certification, a prestigious honor granted to colleges and universities for their commitment to accelerating Latino student success.

More than 60% of the University’s 250,000 alumni live in North Texas and contribute to an annual economic impact of $17.1 billion in the region.
In addition to nurturing student success, UTA is focused on making an impact through innovative research. Anchored by its five strategic pillars—health and the human condition, sustainable communities, global environmental impact, data-driven discovery, and culture and societal transformations—the University’s research portfolio saw significant growth over the past decade, with expenditures reaching $125 million in 2022. Faculty work in state-of-the-art facilities has resulted in important breakthroughs in areas such as sustainable infrastructure, healthy aging, high-energy physics, cardiovascular disease, machine-learning systems, and more.
In 2021, the combination of outstanding academics and innovative research contributed to the University once again receiving Carnegie R-1 “Very High Research Activity” designation. By providing exceptional educational opportunities and addressing important societal challenges, UTA enhances the quality of life in Texas and beyond.
