University of North Texas Dallas Campus

Southern Dallas is home to a new public four-year university in the Dallas city limits. The 26,000-student University of North Texas at Dallas campus is anchoring an area that still contains large open tracts of wooded land.
The City and the university administration are working on a master plan for the area to ensure that the campus will integrate seamlessly with surrounding developments.
Centered around the campus at Camp Wisdom and Houston School Road, the plan incorporates two rail stations slated for completion by 2018 as part of the DART Rail 2030 Plan.  Likely projects on the university’s periphery include research parks, mixed-use retail and housing in a main street configuration serving students and staff, high-end single family neighborhoods and dense freeway commercial areas, including office and retail.
The university’s academic plan calls for an initial focus on management and technical programs combined with a more traditional liberal arts curriculum. With a young and growing population, southern Dallas will be capable of providing a steady stream of students to this new campus, and the university will, in turn, provide the workers needed to support Dallas’ growing economy.
