UTD Callier Center

UTD School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences Educational Programs and Student Information
	The School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences is concerned with the study of human development throughout the life span, including normal perceptual, cognitive, linguistic, emotional, social, and physiological processes, as well as individual differences in these processes. The School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences is housed in Green Hall on the main campus of The University of Texas at Dallas and in the Callier Center. Green Hall contains numerous laboratories and observation rooms for research on perception, memory, psycholinguistics, and social interaction, as well as extensive neuroscience facilities. ———————————————————————————— The Callier Center, has two locations, one near downtown Dallas and the other on the UTD campus. Each houses sophisticated behavioral and neuroscience facilities for research in the communication sciences and disorders. The Callier Center provides excellent opportunities for study of a broad range of communication disorders. Outpatient clinics for persons having speech, language, and hearing disorders see more than 25,000 clients per year. Infant and preschool programs serve nearly 200 hearing, hearing-impaired, and language-impaired children. Students also participate in research at the nearby University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and at area hospitals, clinics and rehabilitation facilities. Housing Students can select from a wide range of apartments and houses proximal to the main campus. Rents are comparable to those in other large urban areas. In addition, an apartment complex for UTD students is located adjacent to the main campus in Richardson. Location The main campus of the University is located in Richardson, a northern suburb of Dallas. The Callier campus is located within a few minutes of downtown Dallas. The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex has become the seventh largest metropolitan area in the United States. Students can take advantage of many recreational activities, including those provided by several lakes in the area. The surrounding countryside is ideal for golf, sailing, flying, and horseback riding. Cultural attractions are numerous, and include the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, which now performs in a recently completed world-class symphony hall (The Morton Meyerson Center), the Dallas Civic Opera, the Dallas Museum of Arts, and the Dallas Theater Center. There are outstanding restaurants, shopping areas, and athletic events. The University supports a number of lectures, films, and exhibits and has facilities for intramural sports. The climate is healthful and sunny, with clear air, mild winters, and hot summers. The University The University of Texas at Dallas was formerly the privately operated Southwest Center for Advanced Studies. It became part of The University of Texas System in 1969, when it began enrolling graduate students. The University has been admitting upper-level undergraduates since 1975, and is admitting freshmen and sophomores as of Fall, 1990. Originally a complex of natural sciences research laboratories, The University of Texas at Dallas has evolved into a broad university with Schools of Arts and Humanities, General Studies, Management and Administration, Natural Science and Mathematics, Engineering and Computer Science, Social Sciences, and Human Development. In spite of this breadth, the University remains small, with a student body of about 8,700 and about 200 tenured/tenured-track faculty. The main campus in Richardson sits on approximately 500 acres.
