The UTA Honors College offers a unique residential experience for on-campus students. Starting in 2026, honors students who live on campus will all be housed together in our new community. This gives students the ability to live with likeminded students excited to get the best out of their UTA experience.
This community will feature themed honors communities within it to help students to deeply engage their peers, both academically and socially. Check back soon for more announcements about this new living experience.
