Bold Is... when the hopes and dreams of generations come to life
Moving Up
UTSA is committed to helping students and their families achieve social mobility - long-term independence and financial stability. We do this by blending education with real-world experience through ‘learning-through-doing’ opportunities.
Planning for Future Growth
UTSA was founded with the promise of social mobility and opportunity for underserved Texans. Our student body continues to grow with each passing year. As this chart shows, from 1,000 students in 1973 to a planned total enrollment of 41,000 by 2028, we are continuing to provide a world-class education to an expanding Roadrunner community.
Hispanic Serving Institution
UTSA is one of the original 189 universities in the nation to be federally-designated as a Hispanic-Serving Institution. While the designation allows UTSA to compete for federal funding, our vision goes much further: we aspire to be a model Hispanic thriving institution where students from all backgrounds can excel.
UTSA has held the prestigious Seal of Excelencia, a national certification recognizing the university’s commitment and ability to accelerate Latino student success, since 2020.
