Mission  
School mission: In addition to the superb instruction available, one of the special strengths of the University of Texas at Austin is its size. This allows UT to offer great educational variety: there are over 300 degree programs in 15 colleges, and scores of these programs are nationally ranked. UT's size is also reflected in its vast intellectual resources. To mention but a few: the renowned Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, the McDonald Observatory in the Davis Mountains, the Blanton Museum of Art, and the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies attract scholars from throughout the world, and are readily accessible to our students. But the greatest assets of UT are its faculty and students, talented and diverse groups with representation from all 50 states and more than 110 nations, who make the learning experience inside and outside the classroom invaluable. Our graduates learn to work in an inclusive and international environment that prepares them for life in the world at large.
