About This School

The University of Texas at Tyler is a public institution located in Tyler, Texas with approximately 7,009 undergraduate students enrolled. The University of Texas at Tyler has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 92%. The average net price after financial aid is $13,931 per year. The graduation rate is 47%, and the typical graduate earns $50,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

The University of Texas at Tyler is a public research university in Tyler, Texas, United States. Founded in 1971, it is a part of the University of Texas System.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $13,931 average net price and low median debt of $12,500 make this one of the more affordable paths to a UT System degree, and median earnings of $50,500 a decade out are reasonable. The concern worth flagging is the 47% graduation rate — fewer than half of students who start here finish, which means you'll want to honestly assess your own support needs and commitment before enrolling. Worth considering if cost is your top priority and you have a clear plan, but look carefully at what resources are available to keep you on track.
