The University of Texas at Arlington is a public research university in Arlington, Texas, United States. It is the second oldest university in the University of Texas System and was founded in 1895. It was in the Texas A&M University System for several decades until joining the University of Texas System in 1965.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — the $15,235 average net price and relatively low median debt of $11,791 make this one of the more affordable paths to a UT System degree, and $54,000 in median earnings a decade out is solid for the cost. However, the 57% graduation rate is a real concern worth asking about, meaning roughly 4 in 10 students who start here don't finish, which could signal issues with support, scheduling, or student fit. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious and have a clear major in mind, but come in with a plan and talk to current students about what it actually takes to stay on track.
