The Federation of North Texas Area Universities is a consortium of three institutions in the North Texas area:
The primary purpose of the Federation is to engage in institutional collaborations for excellence in selected graduate degree programs and fields of study, to facilitate graduate students’ professional development and research opportunities, and to coordinate administrative services for the benefit of graduate students at the three institutions. The Federation has operated since 1968 when it was approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
The 2018 symposium was held on March 23, 2018 in Denton at Texas Women's University in Hubbard Hall.
