A metropolitan area offers a wealth of job opportunities, plus entertainment, culture, shopping and professional sports. A college town offers a peaceful haven for study and research. UNT has the advantages of both. The university is located in Denton, a town of about 150,000 people only 36 miles north of Dallas-Fort Worth, the country's fourth-largest metropolitan area. We will become globally known for collaborative and imaginative educational innovation and scholarly activity that transforms our students and benefits the world around us. Faculty are at the heart of our efforts to carry out UNT's mission. Their leadership in teaching, research, creative activities, performance and service activities has created national and international reputations for excellence for many academic programs within the university's 14 schools and colleges. Faculty and students engage in innovative research and creative activities that consistently break new ground. The exciting scholarship at UNT is broad based and far reaching, incorporating research in the humanities, social sciences and the arts, as well as the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics. Fostering global understanding and promoting cultural appreciation are central to preparing tomorrow's successful global leaders.
