Austin College

Sherman, Texas

AUSTIN COLLEGE IS a private liberal arts college located north of Dallas in Sherman. The college’s engaged, diverse student body is near enough to Dallas and Fort Worth to easily take advantage of “big city” internship and entertainment opportunities while enjoying the perks of small-town living.

A 12:1 student/faculty ratio allows students to act as partners in learning with expert faculty whose priorities are teaching and mentoring. Each student is connected with a faculty mentor before arriving on campus, ensuring guidance and academic support throughout the college experience.

More than 55 areas of study include programs in data science and analytics, public health, kinesiology, neuroscience, social justice and community engagement, and engineering physics. The Austin Teacher Program allows future teachers to earn both a bachelor’s degree and a Master of Arts in teaching in four-and-a-half years. The new two-year Master of Medical Science–Physician Assistant (PA) Program begins in summer 2024.

Austin College’s Compass Curriculum meets the ever-changing needs of the 21st century and prepares students for a lifetime of success. All students are guaranteed a hands-on, applied learning experience supported by innovative programs.

The college’s Presbyterian Church (USA) heritage cultivates an inclusive atmosphere that supports every student’s faith journey, regardless of tradition or background.
