The University of Austin (UATX) is a private liberal arts university located in Austin, Texas. The university has established a campus in Downtown Austin's Scarbrough Building, and enrolled its first undergraduate cohort in the fall of 2024.
UATX is approved to grant bachelor’s degrees by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The first two classes have been offered full-tuition scholarships. Accreditation in the U.S. is not possible until at least one class of students is graduated and other accreditation standards are met, so UATX is not accredited, and its students are not eligible for Federal Student Aid, but it is in the process of determining eligibility to apply as a candidate for accreditation with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE).
