Summary
UNT Health Fort Worth is reorganizing its academic structure to fuel explosive growth, slashing six colleges to four while preserving every program—aiming to double student enrollment in five years. Effective June 1, public health and PA studies joined the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, while physical therapy and nutrition merged into the new UNT System College of Pharmacy and Health Professions. The remaining colleges—Osteopathic Medicine, Nursing, and Biomedical and Translational Sciences—remain intact. This isn’t just about cost-cutting; it’s a strategic overhaul to break down silos, mirror real-world healthcare teamwork, and better serve North Texas. With a new Dallas nursing campus launching in fall 2027 and a looming RN shortage, UNT Health is forging partnerships to sustain growth—viewing this restructuring as the first step in a bold, scalable expansion plan.
