University of Texas at San Antonio

August 6, 2010
The University of Texas at San Antonio serves the San Antonio metropolitan area UTSA Bio Rotunda image and the broader region of South Texas through programs and services offered from its three campuses: Main Campus, Downtown Campus and Hemisfair Park Campus.

With nearly 29,000 students enrolled in 134 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, UTSA is the second-largest component in The University of Texas System and has been one of the state's fastest-growing public universities for much of the last decade.

UTSA offers 64 bachelor's, 49 master's and 21 doctoral degree programs. With additional doctoral programs in the implementation stage and awaiting final approval from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and a 34 percent increase in research funding totaling $46.5 million, UTSA is rapidly moving toward classification as a doctoral research intensive institution.

The university's three campuses provide access and opportunity for large numbers of historically underserved students. More than 58 percent of UTSA's students come from groups underrepresented in higher education. Many students are the first in their families to attend a college or university.

The University of Texas at San Antonio is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award baccalaureate, master’s, and doctorate degrees.
