University of North Texas to expand to Frisco
DENTON -- The University of North Texas is expanding to Frisco, pending university officials signing a lease for roughly 30,000 square feet for offices and classrooms.
A new center, combining efforts from several colleges at the Denton campus, will feature a crime data center, new degree programs that have yet to be announced and courses like data and web analytics and graphic design.
“You can think about it as having business communications and technology as the core activities, but we’ll be able to offer other build-to-suit degree programs that offer site-specific workforce development for one of the hottest regions in America,” UNT President Neal Smatresk said.
There will be a soft opening for the center in January, and a full launch of programs in fall 2016. It will be staffed with a mix of faculty and staff from Denton, as well as new hires, and Smatresk estimates it will serve up to 500 students a year.
