A Message from the Director
Welcome! Whether you’ve already been admitted to UT Austin or you’re just beginning to consider your college options, the Houston Admissions Center is here to help you explore the unlimited opportunities available to you at The University of Texas at Austin. I’m excited to be able to offer students and their families the resources of the UT Austin Office of Admissions right here in Houston.
