Who is the University of Austin? We’re intrepid inquirers. Adventurous learners.

If open inquiry and civil discourse in the classroom make you uneasy, we’re probably not for you. If it excites you, then UATX is your home.

Ready to take your first steps with UATX in the fearless pursuit of truth? To look back while moving forward? If so, join us at the University of Austin.

The liberal arts core of our curriculum challenges you to confront timeless questions beginning in antiquity and culminating in the present day. As you progress through our undergrad program, you’ll develop specialized knowledge in one or more interdisciplinary academic centers, focusing on STEM, the social sciences, and the humanities.

• Over all four years, you’ll undertake an individualized project to build, create, or discover something serving the human good. This is called the Polaris Project. The time you spend on this project cultivates discipline, prudence, and practical skills in the context of confronting real-world challenges. Through applied learning, you’ll advance your career goals as you earn your bachelor’s degree.

“In today’s climate of moral certitude, many are so confident in their perspective that they seek to drown out dissent. I want to be in an environment with peers who rationally evaluate facts and are comfortable engaging with views that challenge their own.” 
- Jacob, Class of 2028

Don't Settle? Get the best of both the liberal arts and entrepreneurship.

Wondering about the cost of UATX? Each student who’s part of the Class of 2029 cohort receives a Founders Scholarship worth approximately $130,000 that covers the full cost of undergraduate tuition for four years.* If you’re ready to help build America's next great university, we’re ready to help you afford it. These scholarships recognize the significant vision, character, and commitment it takes to establish a new institution.

Plus, the University of Austin is committed to working with students who receive an offer of admission to help them and their families meet demonstrated financial needs. Specifically, UATX offers need-based grants and work-study (not federal work-study) for students otherwise eligible for federal financial assistance.

“UATX is refreshingly different: it’s free of dogmatic, politicized teaching ubiquitous in higher education. Trailblazing is risky and challenging, demanding creativity and commitment..."
