TIEC Home About TIEC Overview

Texas University Based and Internationally Focused

The Texas International Education Consortium (TIEC) calls upon the expertise and knowledge of more than 25,000 faculty and administrators from 32 Texas universities in providing services to the global educational community.

Affiliated universities include not only programs that are world-famous for their academics and scholarship, but numerous specialized research centers and institutes, extension and technical training programs, and public policy and service units. Each of these resources lends its support and expertise through active participation in TIEC projects.

Located in Austin, Texas, TIEC occupies a multi-purpose headquarters facility including both its institutional services programs and its study and training programs. TIEC headquarters is home to offices and classrooms of The Texas Intensive English Program (TIEP), a wholly owned subsidiary of TIEC that provides English as a second language instruction to international students from around the globe.

TIEC is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of the presidents of its 32 affiliated universities. These universities include members of the Association of American Universities, the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. All are fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
