The University of Austin (UATX) is a private nonsectarian liberal arts university located in Austin, Texas.[2][3] The university has established a campus in downtown Austin's Scarbrough Building, and will enroll its first undergraduate cohort in the fall of 2024.[1]

The University of Austin plans to be accredited between 2028 and 2031.[4] Students are not eligible for federal financial aid, but the founding class has been offered free tuition.[5][6] The initial faculty and students are expected to be mostly those holding conservative and libertarian views.[7]
