Longhorn Community
Diversity and opportunity.
The voices, experiences and backgrounds of every Longhorn shape the community that is The University of Texas at Austin.

At Texas, you can explore a curriculum that values diversity across every discipline. Find your home on campus by connecting around the interests, experiences, identities and dreams you share with other Longhorns. Achieve your boldest dreams with the support of a world-class university that wants to see you succeed.
Many options. Diverse people and ideas. One Texas.
