Welcome to University of North Texas Health Science Center (HSC)!

On behalf of the New Student Orientation Team, we are excited to welcome you to UNT HSC! Though we are small by comparison to some academic medical centers, we excel in every area of our mission – education, research, patient care and community service. It won’t take you long to develop a real sense of pride about being a UNT Health Science Center student. We are located in the heart of the cultural district with a culturally diverse faculty, staff, and student body, so you have the wonderful opportunity to study, meet your people, and enjoy all Fort Worth has to offer!

Orientation is a mandatory event for all incoming HSC students. At your New Student Orientation session, you will learn about academic and community expectations, campus culture, and services and resources available to students. Administrators, faculty, staff and students will be present throughout the sessions to answer questions and give advice about your educational future.
