Austin College is a private liberal arts university located in Sherman, Texas. Founded in 1849, it is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA) but welcomes students of all faiths. As a private institution, it relies on tuition, donations, and endowments rather than state funding.
The college offers undergraduate programs in humanities, sciences, and social sciences, along with pre-professional tracks. With a low student-to-faculty ratio, it emphasizes personalized education. Unlike public universities, Austin College sets its own tuition rates and admission policies, though it participates in some state-funded financial aid programs.
