University of North Texas has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 72%. The average net price after financial aid is $14,352 per year.

The University of North Texas (UNT) is a public research university located in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, United States. Its main campus is in Denton, with a satellite campus in Frisco. It serves as the flagship of the University of North Texas System, which also includes universities in Dallas and Fort Worth. UNT offers 114 bachelor's, 97 master's, and 39 doctoral programs. Founded in 1890, it was the 24th largest university in the United States by enrollment in 2023.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $14,352/year net price and a median debt of only $14,000 at graduation, UNT is genuinely affordable, and its location in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex gives students real access to internships and job markets. However, the 60% graduation rate is a legitimate concern — nearly 4 in 10 students don't finish, which is worth taking seriously when evaluating fit and support systems. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious, interested in one of UNT's stronger programs (music, business, or education have strong reputations), and have a clear plan to stay on track.
