About This School

The University of Texas at San Antonio is a public institution located in San Antonio, Texas with approximately 29,675 undergraduate students enrolled. The University of Texas at San Antonio has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 88%. The average net price after financial aid is $11,234 per year. The graduation rate is 51%, and the typical graduate earns $49,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

The University of Texas at San Antonio is a public research university in San Antonio, Texas. Established in 1969, UTSA is the largest university in San Antonio and the third-largest public research university in Texas by annual research expenditures, enrolling approximately 38,200 students across six campuses spanning about 1,200 acres.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $11,234/year after aid and a median debt of only $15,000 at graduation, UTSA is genuinely affordable, and its size and research activity give students access to real opportunities in a growing city. The concern is the 51% graduation rate — only about half of students finish, which means you'll need to be proactive about staying on track, using support resources, and not assuming the path to a degree will be straightforward. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious, interested in staying in Texas, and willing to take ownership of your college experience from day one.
