UTA West is the new campus of The University of Texas at Arlington at Walsh Ranch, on the western edge of Fort Worth. It is being built around the careers this region is hiring for, so students in west Fort Worth and Parker County can earn a UTA degree close to home. Classes begin Fall 2028.
Academic programs are subject to change.
