Great Location
Achieve success with UNT's great location
Denton, Texas
A major metropolitan area offers a wealth of job opportunities, entertainment, culture, shopping and professional sports. A college town provides a peaceful haven for study and research. UNT has the advantages of both. The university is located in Denton, a town of about 115,000 people only 35 miles north of Dallas-Fort Worth, the country's fourth largest metropolitan area.
Near Dallas and Fort Worth
Centrally located, the Dallas-Fort Worth area is a hub in the continental and global transportation of goods and people. UNT's proximity to both cities makes it possible for graduate students to work with top corporations and government agencies. The region is recognized as a worldwide leader in the logistics and trade, advanced services, and technology industry sectors.
In September 2009, Forbes magazine named Dallas the No. 1 city in the U.S. in which to earn a living based on cost of living, strength of industry, economists' prediction for the future, state of employment and salary.
The region also is home to an expansive arts community. The world-class downtown Dallas Arts District includes the new $354 million Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, a multi-venue center for music, opera and dance. Fort Worth, long established as the "museum capital of the Southwest," offers magnificent museums and a thriving performing arts scene.
