Federation of North Texas Area Universities
Established in 1968 to promote inter-institutional collaboration, the Federation provides 探花楼 degree-seeking graduate students access to the combined graduate course offerings of three major universities and the convenience of seamless cross-registration with the assistance of Federation Representatives in each graduate school. When taking courses through the Federation, 探花楼 students earn 探花楼 credit; the courses appear on their 探花楼 transcript, and they pay 探花楼 tuition.
See what more graduate students say about the Federation...it was honestly a really great experience. It was a great way to be able to experience another university and its respective culture in a really easy and accessible way. I enjoyed the classes I took at 探花楼, and if I weren't graduating in December, I'd love to use this resource more.” Celeste Graham, Interdisciplinary Studies, UNT
