facts

  • For the second year in a row, UTD conferred the most computer science degrees in the nation—at the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. levels combined, according to the American Society of Engineering Education data.

  • UTD ranks fourth in the nation when you combine all degrees awarded in electrical engineering and computer science.

  • UTD also ranks first in the total number of computer science degrees awarded to women and second in the number of female tenured/tenure track computer science faculty members within an engineering school.

  • Significantly, the Jonsson School has only two departments at present – electrical engineering and computer science – while other more “comprehensive” engineering schools have as many as six or seven.  Despite that, the Jonsson School, according to the ASEE figures, ranked 75th in the nation in 2003-2004 in the total number of doctoral degrees conferred, 22nd in the number of master’s degrees and 46th in the number of bachelor’s degrees.

  • Incoming UTD students have the highest SAT scores of any public university in Texas.

  • The Jonsson School offers degree programs in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, materials science & engineering, and  telecommunications engineering—the nation’s first ABET-accredited telecom engineering degree program.

  • UTD aims to provide Texas and the nation with the benefits of educational and research programs of the highest quality, with a current enrollment of more than 14,000 students and a world-class faculty that includes two Nobel laureates.

  • The student faculty ratio at UTD is 23:1, providing students with more personalized, one-on-one attention in the classroom.

  • More than 800 high-tech firms are located within a five-mile radius of the UTD campus, and make up one of the largest high-tech areas in the United States. This offers students excellent co-op, internship and employment opportunities.

  • The UTD campus continues to grow, breaking ground in 2004 on an $85 million, state-of-the-art Natural Science and Engineering Research Laboratory, fueling UTD's drive to become a "tier one" academic research institution.

  • The Jonsson School boasts the largest Engineering and Computer Science employment co-op program in the state and the sixth largest in the nation.

  • All undergraduate degree programs in the Jonsson School offer the Fast Track master's program that allows students the opportunity to earn a bachelor's and master's degree in five years
