The Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, ranked as one of the top ten public engineering programs in the country, prides itself on the quality if its students, the caliber of its alumni and the depth of its faculty. Our history of excellence has outlived more than six generations of UT Engineers and based on this history, we can project with confidence a very bright future for the next generation of engineers.
No public institution in the 21st century, however, is sustained solely by its state government. As we have transitioned over the last decade from a state-funded university to a state-assisted university, we have survived and thrived thanks in whole to the private support we receive from alumni, friends, corporations and foundations. Annually, more than 80% of our budget comes from private support – a fact that continues to humble and to encourage us to work towards excellence every day.
