Serving East Texas since 1971

Public Suburban UTT UT Patriots

Although a relatively new addition to the University of Texas family, UT Tyler has grown into a major contributor to the state’s academic community since opening its doors in 1971. Academically, UT Tyler is best known for its programs in engineering and nursing, as well as its Honors Program. The university is located in the southeastern suburbs of Tyler, a thriving city of over 100,000 people in the east Texas lake country.

The UT Tyler campus is mostly surrounded by quiet residential neighborhoods, with a few large shopping centers and a multiplex movie theater just to the west. The Oil Palace Agency arena is nearby as well, hosting concerts and special events throughout the year. The Downtown district exhibits a charming small-town vibe, with historic storefronts housing popular restaurants, bars, galleries, and entertainment venues. When you want to get out of town, Dallas is only about 90 minutes away, and both Houston and Austin are easily within weekend trip distance.
