Drawn to outstanding academic disciplines, professors, student activities and career preparation, student enrollment at the University of Texas at Arlington has increased dramatically over the last several years, from 18,662 in Fall 1998 to over 25,000 in Fall 2005.  In the meantime, a dwindling percentage of UT Arlington’s operating budget comes from state appropriations.  The University and its academic programs, therefore, must rely on the generous support of alumni, friends, corporate partners, and foundations to help us meet the needs of our growing student population.  Learn more about initiatives and priorities within each of UT Arlington’s schools and colleges:
