The University of Texas at Brownsville
The University of Texas at Brownsville (UTB)
Located at the southernmost tip of the Rio Grande Valley, 20 miles from
the Gulf of Mexico and one block from the U.S. - Mexico border, The
University of Texas at Brownsville is the newest of 15 component
institutions operated by The University of Texas System. Established in
1991, UTB has formed a unique partnership with Texas Southmost College (TSC),
a comprehensive community college. The partnership provides continuity in
curriculum, efficient use of resources, and high quality instructional
programs at the associate, undergraduate and masters levels. UTB and TSC
serve 8000 students drawn from the rich bilingual and bicultural community
it serves. Together with the Mexican metropolitan areas along the
U.S.-Mexico border, Brownsville and Matamoros form a hub of population,
commerce, industry and culture which will play a major role in the
impending development of the Texas-Mexico border area. UTB and TSC expect
to grow rapidly during the coming decade to meet the needs of this dynamic
region.
