In the classroom, UTSA faculty provide high-quality instruction in cutting-edge curricula. Trained at the best universities and experts in the forefront of their fields, their research makes a deep national impact and is a part of our students’ experiences both in and out of the classroom.

At UTSA, we have designed our academic programs, support services and collaborative opportunities to build on our students’ talents and enrich their academic paths. Learning is not limited to classrooms — through innovative teaching and transformational immersive experiences, learning happens in every corner of campus and all around our city!
