Future Students

Become a Maverick Scientist
In the College of Science, our students are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible — for themselves and for the world. Maverick Scientists innovate, they discover and they learn. In the College of Science they acquire the knowledge and training they need to become leaders in whatever fields they enter. We have almost 4,000 students in six departments – Biology, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Earth & Environmental Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, and Psychology, in addition to health professions and a new multi-disciplinary program in Data Science.
Our students learn from world-class faculty and utilize state-of-the-art facilities while acquiring the knowledge and in-demand skills they need when they enter the workforce. Maverick Scientists gain valuable experience in collaborative research and graduate well-equipped to take on the many important problems facing our world today.
If you’re ready to take the first step toward achieving your dreams, we encourage you to fill out the recruitment information request form to join our mailing list and receive more information about admission to UTA and the College of Science.
