The State of Texas boasts one of the most comprehensive higher education systems in the country. Did you know that there are 40 public universities spread across multiple systems?

When choosing schools to match your profile and risk, start from the flagship universities from each system - and then choose from the other schools in each set as needed. Example: UT Austin, Texas A&M College Station, Texas Tech Lubbock, UT Dallas, and Tarleton State.
