As one of the few universities designated as both Hispanic Serving Institution and a R1 University, UTSA is committed to both learning and discovery.

Additionally, transfer students comprise about 40% of UTSA's total undergraduate population. Further enhancing the already rich mosaic of our student population is UTSA's military community, which makes up approximately 15% of total students and includes active-duty military members, veterans, reserves/guard, and their spouses and dependents.
