Choice Hotels near The University of Texas at Dallas offer budget-friendly options. UT Dallas was founded by Eugene McDermott, J. Erik Jonsson and Cecil Green, who all deeply valued education and entrepreneurial activity. These men, who also founded Texas Instruments, found themselves importing talent from outside Texas while the state's brightest young people pursued education elsewhere. Having identified the need, they took action to serve both their enterprise and Texas by establishing the Graduate Research Center of the Southwest in 1961. Renamed the Southwest Center for Advanced Studies (SCAS) in 1967, they transferred the assets of SCAS to the State of Texas in 1969, and then-Governor Preston Smith signed the bill officially creating the University of Texas at Dallas.
