The University of Texas at Dallas has been named one of the best colleges in the country for LGBTQ students. It is the only university in Texas and the Southwest to make the top 25 list.
UT Dallas was ranked 14th in the nation by BestColleges, in partnership with Campus Pride. The school has a 5-star rating from Campus Pride, the highest rating possible, for its commitment to LGBTQ-inclusive policies, programs and practices.
The ranking was based on eight factors: LGBTQ policy inclusion, support and institutional commitment, academic life, student life, housing and residence life, campus safety, counseling and health and recruitment and retention efforts.
