For more descriptive information, contact the
Web site at http://uta-fortworth.uta.edu.
The campus incorporates the latest instructional
technology to serve Fort Worth and the surrounding vicinity. State-of-the-art
video conferencing systems have the capability to transmit UTA/Fort
Worth Riverbend classes to the main campus in Arlington and other
locations with compatible configurations. This enables students
to participate in selected courses even when the instructor is in
another location. Internet and videotaped versions of classes are
also available to students as a supplementary resource.
The UTA/Fort Worth Riverbend Campus is conveniently
located, with ample parking available, just north of the I-30 and
Loop 820 intersection, 10 minutes east of downtown Fort Worth.
Center for Distance Education
The Center for Distance Education was founded
in June 1997 and serves as a resource for the creation and delivery
of online instruction at U.T. Arlington. Center staff members specialize
in developing media-rich Internet classes.
During the 1999-2000 academic year, more than
1,100 undergraduate and graduate learners enrolled in online classes
developed and delivered by the center. In addition to functioning
as a dynamic courseware development site, the Center for Distance
Education also serves as an information and coordination resource
for all distance education efforts on campus.
Complete information about center activities is available at http://distance.uta.edu,
via e-mail to info@distance.uta.edu,
or by calling 1-888-UTA-DIST (882-3478).
Televised Instruction
The University of Texas at Arlington televises
a limited number of graduate and undergraduate courses. Selected
courses may be available by mailed-out videotape, on the University’s
Arlington cable TV channel, or over dedicated videoconferencing
networks to selected business and academic sites in Texas. Course
offerings vary each semester. For specific information about televised
offerings for a given semester, contact the College of Business
Administration at 817-272-2881, School of Nursing at 817-272-2776,
School of Social Work at 817-272-3181 or Department of Criminology
and Criminal Justice at 817-272-3318.
UT TeleCampus
The UT TeleCampus is a centralized service
and support unit for online education within The University of Texas
System. Similar in design to a traditional campus, the UT TeleCampus
offers admissions links, learning resources and student support
services. Degree programs offered via the UT TeleCampus are collaborative,
accredited degrees from the participating University of Texas System
institutions. Students apply to their selection of a home campus
from among the U.T. System partner campuses for each program. Upon
completion of the degree plan, the diploma will be awarded from
that U.T. System institution. The online courses comprising these
degrees are taught by the same expert faculty who teach on-campus
courses. Courses run semester to semester to allow for interaction
within the classroom. During the course of study, students access
the TeleCampus for services ranging from virtual classrooms to bookstores
and digital libraries. For more information, access www.telecampus.utsystem.edu,
call 1-888-TEXAS-16, or send e-mail to
telecampus@utsystem.edu.
Study Abroad Programs
To help its students attain the education
demanded by today’s increasingly interdependent world, U.T.
Arlington offers the opportunity to study overseas while earning
credit toward a degree. Some programs involve direct enrollment
in an overseas institution, while others are led by faculty members.
Year, semester and summer programs are available. Fluency in another
language is not a prerequisite.
Program offerings vary but typically include such
countries as Australia, China, England, France, Italy, Korea, Malaysia,
Mexico, Norway, Russia and Eastern Europe, Spain and Thailand. Students
can find more information about these programs in the Study Abroad
Reference Library in the International Office, Lower Level, University
Center, or by calling 817-272-2355. Application deadlines for spring
programs are typically in early October. Deadlines for most summer
and fall programs are usually in mid- to late-March.
Most financial aid that students would normally
receive for studying at the University may continue to be utilized
during a U.T. Arlington study abroad program. If a student is on
any federal or state financial aid, the student should discuss the
specifics of the application of such aid and the possible adjustment
of the student’s need level with the overseas opportunities
advisor in the International Office and subsequently the Financial
Aid Office. Participants are also eligible to apply for an International
Education Fee Scholarship (IEFS). This is funded by $1 collected
from each student at registration. Applications are available from
the International Office and are due October 15 for spring programs,
and March 31 for summer and fall programs. IEFS recipients must
show both academic merit and financial need.
See the Modern
Language Department section of this catalog for additional information
on study abroad programs.
Transfer Programs
The course offerings of the University are sufficient in the following
fields for a student to complete the first two years of study toward
a baccalaureate degree. The student must transfer to another institution
to complete the study. Information about the programs may be obtained
from the Allied Health Coordinator in Room 351, Life Science Building.
Two-year transfer programs
• Health Care Administration
• Gerontology
• Dietetics
• Occupational Therapy
• Pharmacy
• Dental Hygiene
• Physician’s Assistant
• Rehabilitation Science
• Prosthetics and Orthotics
Professions
Medicine and Dentistry
In general, medical and dental school admission
committees do not state a preference about an undergraduate major
field, leaving the student free to choose a degree program suited
to individual abilities and interests. Therefore, the student may
choose any major, after conferring with an advisor, if the minimum
requirements stated by the professional schools are met.
Admission requirements for The University of Texas
Medical and Dental Schools
English
One year of college English.
Biology
Two years, as required for college science majors; one year must
include formal laboratory work.
Mathematics
One-half year of college calculus. Mathematics is not required for
admission to dental school.
Physics
One year, as required for college science majors.
Chemistry
One year of general chemistry and one year of organic chemistry,
as required for college science majors, including the corresponding
laboratory experience.
Test
New Medical College Admission Test (New MCAT) or Dental Aptitude
Test (DAT) as required.
These requirements are representative
of admission requirements
for most other American medical and dental schools.
Health Professions Counseling and Advising
The Health Professions Counseling and Advising
Center, located in Room 206, Life Science Building, provides counseling
for students interested in medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy
and veterinary medicine. All preprofessional students should contact
the office upon entering the University. The services provided include
new student orientation, academic advising, career counseling and
assistance in applying to professional school. In addition, numerous
career materials including catalogs, applications and testing information
are available in Room 206, Life Science Building. The health professions
counselor coordinates the Health Professions Advisory Committee’s
evaluation recommended for each premedical and predental student
before applying to professional school. Students applying to professional
schools should contact the health professions counselor at least
one year prior to applying.
The Health Professions Advisory Committee, which
is responsible for recommending students for medical and dental
schools, bases evaluations on two factors: a student’s academic
record and personal qualities. The ideal applicant will demonstrate
strength in both areas. The committee may decline to recommend students
who have not completed at least a portion of his/her premedical
sciences at The University of Texas at Arlington, or may be unable
to recommend students because their personal qualities are not known.
Therefore, it is important that a student actively participate in
health profession programs involving medical schools and the Medical
Dental Preparatory Association. Also, students should interact with
the faculty and premedical advisor for at least one year prior to
medical school application so the advisors will have an opportunity
to become familiar with the students’ individual background.
The Legal Profession
Law schools do not generally prefer any major
field for undergraduate preparation. Consequently, prelaw students
are free to choose the degree program that best suits their interests
and abilities. Students who desire a prelaw education should choose
a major and consult the advisor in the major department and/or in
the University Advising Center early in their undergraduate career.
Law schools do not customarily list required courses. It is recommended,
however, that students choose courses from among those offered in
the following areas:
• English, Literature
and Speech
• Latin
• American and English history
• Mathematics
• Economics
• Psychology
• Political science
• Accounting
• Criminal Justice
• Business Administration
• Sociology
• Sciences
• Philosophy, Logic and Scientific
Method
