Message from the Dean

Many features distinguish The University of Texas at Dallas School of Management. First, we have a very talented group of faculty members, many of whom have achieved national and international recognition, and we are recruiting the very best junior and senior faculty members. Second, our location in a dynamic and growing area populated with many vibrant global companies offers the school a unique competitive advantage. We have an active industry advisory board, and we are committed to further strengthening our relationships with industry. Finally, we are part of a young but high quality university that has identified management education as an area of high priority. All these features provide an environment in which we can deliver the highest quality education to our students.
