Bold Is... playing the game differently
BUILDING A DATA INTELLIGENCE ECOSYSTEM FOR SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, AND THE NATION
UTSA is designing a data intelligence ecosystem unlike any other – the first of its kind in Texas. We are expanding our Downtown Campus with new buildings to house the School of Data Science and National Security Collaboration Center, as well as a new center for Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Careers. These transformational projects will weave together academic expertise, public and private synergies and foster a first-class education.
Take a virtual tour of San Pedro I, site of UTSA’s new School of Data Science and National Security Collaboration Center. Opened in January 2023, the school will host over 400 students and serve as the home of 30 world-class faculty members.
UTSA’s National Security Collaboration Center brings together more than 50 partners in government, industry and academia to tackle our nation’s escalating cybersecurity threats.
In 2020, UTSA and Port San Antonio, a 1,900-acre technology and innovation campus, formalized ties to bolster cyber and data innovation. One common mission is to build a high-tech workforce pipeline that can meet the increasing demands required by the defense community and mature industry sectors.
