Private liberal arts university in Austin, Texas / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University of Austin (UATX) is a private company that styles itself as a nonsectarian liberal arts university located in Austin, Texas.[1][2] In October 2023, it received a certification to operate as a degree-granting institution from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board,[3] but it is not accredited as a university by the relevant accreditor, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The company has established a campus in downtown Austin's Scarbrough Building, and is scheduled to enroll its first undergraduate cohort in the fall of 2024.[3]
