The University of Texas at Dallas will enhance the arts on campus with the merger of two schools this fall. The School of Arts and Humanities (A&H) and the School of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication (ATEC) will combine to form one larger school focused broadly on the arts and humanities and will be known as the School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology (AHT). Their combined strength will enhance the student experience, advance research and support the mission of our arts, humanities, technology and communication programs. “The idea behind this move is to have a strong, single academic presence for the arts at UT Dallas. After the merger, there will again be seven academic schools at UT Dallas.
