A new Biomedical Engineering graduate degree program is currently being developed, in collaboration with the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and the University of Texas at Arlington. The close proximity to the Medical School offers additional interdisciplinary opportunities for faculty interested in biomedical applications.
The Erik Jonsson School is experiencing very rapid growth as part of a $300 million program, with funding from public and private sources. As a result, the School is expanding its existing programs, establishing new programs and recruiting outstanding faculty. In addition, a $100 million state-of-the-art building for interdisciplinary research in Engineering and Science was inaugurated in 2007.
The University of Texas at Dallas is situated in Richardson, one of the most attractive suburbs of the Dallas metropolitan area, with several hundred high-tech companies within a few miles of the campus, including Texas Instrument, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Lennox, Rockwell-Collins, Nortel Networks, Alcatel, Ericsson, Hewlett-Packard, Samsung, Fujitsu, Cisco Systems, EDS, Zyvex and Intervoice.
