Austin College’s heritage is inextricably linked to the city of Sherman, the North Texas region, and the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Sherman offers our learning community the friendliness and personality of a small city with a population of 35,000, complemented by the amenities of a larger municipality including restaurants, movie theaters, shopping, and cultural events.
Our distinct location in North Texas places Austin College in proximity to a variety of outdoor recreational activities, one of the nation’s top ten population centers, and an international airport with destinations around the globe for student travel. The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, located south of Austin College’s home in Sherman, is an international center for careers, technology, the arts, and culture. With a population of more than 5 million, the Metroplex offers Austin College students a wealth of personal and professional opportunities as undergraduates and as alumni.
