It is possible to get both federal financial aid and scholarships. Paying for school is discussed in detail in Chapter 6, Financing College. A public college with affordable costs, UNT offers lower mandatory fees and more computers per student than most of Texas' other large universities. For most degree programs, students are required to take basic courses, including English, history, math and political science, which, along with introductory courses in their major, fill much of their first few semesters. During their junior and senior years, students take advanced courses concentrating primarily in the major of their choice.
Some students already have their lives planned.
Others don't know the exact career they want to enter, but they know they're interested in a general field. Some, however, have no clue about the future. These students should check on the availability of career counselors and aptitude tests to help focus their interests and abilities. There are colleges for all types of students, and the average student changes his or her major three times while in school. In addition to academic advising and career counseling, UNT has several counselors who specialize in working with undecided majors and a career center to help you in your job search when you graduate.
