Austin, Texas

THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN (UT) is the flagship university of The University of Texas System. Founded in 1883, it offers top national programs across nineteen colleges and schools in the sciences, arts, humanities, and professions.

UT has been a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities since 1929 and attracts about $800 million annually for research. Modeling done by UT molecular biologist Jason McLellan was critical to the development of all mRNA-based vaccines against Covid-19. Through a succession of large grants from the National Science Foundation, UT has built the fastest supercomputers in the world for open research.

In addition to its 431-acre main campus near downtown Austin, UT extends to the J. J. Pickle Research Campus in north Austin, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in south Austin, the McDonald Observatory in West Texas, the Marine Science Institute in Port Aransas, and several cultural and historic sites across the state.

UT student–athletes will switch to the Southeast Conference in 2024. They have won more than sixty national championships and 153 Olympic medals. The Texas Longhorn football team plays in the 100,000-seat Darrell K. Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, the eighth largest in America.

Texas alumni include founders or co-founders of Dell Computers, American Airlines, DreamWorks, 7-Eleven, National Instruments, CarMax, Clear Channel Communications and La Quinta. Well-known alumni include Matthew McConaughey, Kevin Durant, Owen Wilson, and Neil deGrasse Tyson.
