Further analysis
The return on a degree from The University of Texas at Dallas depends heavily on the field a student chooses, and the program pages are where that picture sharpens. Azimuth ranks programs by what completers earn four years out, their debt, and the size of the cohort — not by reputation.
The university has 32 programs with published earnings data, and 29 of them carry a national rank. Three families dominate the degree mix.
Business and Computer & Information Sciences are nearly tied, at 19.8% and 19.3% of bachelor's degrees awarded, with Biological Sciences third at 14.2%. The largest single program is Computer and Information Sciences, which awards 988 degrees a year.
Azimuth ranks it #23 nationally and #3 in Texas, and its completers earn a median of $103,603 four years after graduating. The best-paid program is a smaller one: Computer Engineering completers earn $112,666 four years after completion, from 200 degrees awarded.
Public Policy Analysis ranks #16 in its field, with completers earning $66,209. Award counts here are degrees conferred in one academic year, and program earnings cover federally aided completers.
