 News Articles
Formerly a school, the newly anointed College of Education is earning a reputation as a leader in partnering with the community.
UTA Magazine

The last time a UTA school became a college, Richard Nixon was in the White House, M*A*S*H was a new show on TV, and the University had recently conferred its first doctoral degrees.

It was 1973, and the schools of Business, Engineering, Liberal Arts and Science had just elevated to college status—a milestone for an institution that was a junior college until 1959.

On Aug. 6, 2003, UTA added a fifth college when the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board boosted the status of the School of Education.
