FEDERATION OF NORTH TEXAS AREA UNIVERSITIES
East Texas A&M is a member of the Federation of North Texas Area Universities. The federation is a consortium of three universities: East Texas A&M University, Texas Woman’s University and the University of North Texas.
Graduate students participating in the Federation through cross-registration have access to the combined academic resources of all three universities, including their libraries and laboratories. Students benefit from the flexibility of cross-registration at member universities which can be used when a course is not offered at their home institution. Students also have opportunities to interact with other grad students in a broad range of classes, seminars, conferences and special programs.
