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.
