The university grew over the years and changed its name six times along the way, with each change reflecting the growth in size, complexity and educational breadth. The Texas Legislature approved the final change from North Texas State University to the University of North Texas in 1988.

Students from 50 states and 141 countries attend UNT, giving it an environment rich with diversity. UNT is also one of the nation's top 100 colleges graduating the most African American and Hispanic students. UNT offers the traditional college experience with a wide variety of campus activities so that students can explore their interests, expand their horizons and develop new friendships.

Hello! I am an advisor to the UNT chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha - Epsilon Mu; therefore, I think I can give you direct feedback. The AKAs are an extremely strong chapter who have consistently high GPAs and have won Greek woman of the year many times; in addition, these members have upheld high scholastic standards by winning the highest gpas among any greeks - black, white, Hispanic or Asian -- this year and years previously. The 'Electrifying Epsilon Mu' Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated has several service opportunities and social activities. Service is extremely important!!! I've worked here for almost 4 years and I don't think that the campus is racist. Texas does have some pockets of racist (as that is to be expected being in the southwest), but I don't experience it daily or even often. I am from Texas and lived in the Tyler area . . . now, that is where there is rampant racism (FROM MY PERSPECTIVE). I pray that I never have to live there again! I believe that you will enjoy Denton. Please, never allow fear to prevent you from moving forward. As a person who has formally allowed her fears to control her, I can tell you -- life is not lived when fear controls it. If you have any additional questions about UNT, please email me personally. Sincerest regards, Sweetpea

Best Answer

UNT professors are amazing, and their business school is no exception. I have hired graduates from both schools and found the UNT graduate to be very well versed in business. I personally went to TWU but took a few classes at UNT, so I have had a lot of exposure.
