About The University of Texas System

Founded over 140 years ago, The University of Texas System is one of the largest public university systems in the United States. Operating across multiple institutions throughout Texas, the system serves as a major driver of economic and social mobility in the state. With eight academic institutions and multiple health institutions, the UT System provides comprehensive education while maintaining a strong focus on research and healthcare.

The UT System provides comprehensive career development support through innovative partnerships and programs. Through its partnership with Coursera and Google, students across all campuses have access to industry-recognized micro-credentials and career certificates at no additional cost. The system's focus on combining broad education with specific skills creates powerful career pathways for students. The integration of industry micro-credentials into various academic programs, such as UT Dallas's business school and UT Tyler's psychology courses, demonstrates the system's commitment to preparing students for modern workforce demands. This approach has resulted in strong employment outcomes, with more than three-fourths of undergraduate students securing jobs in Texas within a year after graduation
