7 universities to submit strategies to state to become Tier One

Holly Hacker reports:

The University of Texas at Arlington will offer doctorate degrees in sustainability and globalism. UT-Dallas will bring more diversity to its student body and faculty. UT-San Antonio will continue raising admissions standards.



Those are among the strategies of some state public universities for becoming so-called Tier One campuses, which are considered the country's top research universities and carry national clout.


By today, seven campuses must submit plans to the state detailing how they'll achieve that lofty goal. The other four schools are the University of North Texas, Texas Tech University, the University of Houston and UT-El Paso.
