The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA)

The University of Texas at San Antonio is located in northwest San
Antonio. The University was established by the Texas Legislature in 1969
and opened to graduate students in temporary facilities in 1973.
Undergraduate programs have been offered since 1975 when the university
moved to the permanent 600-acre campus. A comprehensive metropolitan
university, UTSA serves the needs of the multi-cultural population of San
Antonio and South Texas, emphasizing programs that contribute to the
technological, economic and cultural development of the city and region.
UTSA also serves the state, nation and world with selected programs,
reflecting the University's strengths. The University has an outstanding
faculty of over 550 teachers and scholars who serve a student body of over
17,000 and who have built solid, demanding undergraduate and graduate
programs. UTSA offers 52 baccalaureate degrees, 33 Masters degrees and
three Ph.D. degrees. The University is committed to a multi-disciplinary
philosophy to encourage interchange among the disciplines as demonstrated
by its organization into 14 divisions, rather than departments, in the
colleges of Business, Fine Arts and Humanities, Social and Behavioral
Sciences and Sciences and Engineering.
