Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's Building a Talent Strong Texas Higher
Education Plan
Because we are a caring, creative campus, UNT values important connections that happen
through collaboration, interdisciplinary engagement, connectivity, and synergistic
solutions to challenges at our university, in North Texas, and beyond. Thus, we will
dedicate ourselves to creating a stronger collaborative environment where we hear
and respond to the voices of our diverse internal and external communities to empower
our students and meet the needs of Texas.
In a commitment to continuously improve student achievement, the University of North
Texas supports the statewide Building a Talent Strong Texas education strategic plan.
This plan focuses on three measurable, data-driven goals: attainment of postsecondary
credentials; postsecondary credentials of value; and research, development, and innovation.
More information on the Building a Talent Strong Texas strategic plan is available through the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
