The University of Texas at San Antonio serves its 28,533 students via three campuses. Most of the school’s undergraduates take classes at the 1604 campus, which includes 725 acres on the north side of San Antonio near the intersection of Loop 1604 and I-10. Four campus residence complexes accommodate approximately 3,700 students. Many additional private apartments are adjacent to the main campus and provide housing opportunities to about 5,000 students. The downtown campus is conveniently located off I-35. The Institute of Texan Cultures, designated the state’s center for multicultural education, also is in the city’s center, at HemisFair Park.

UTSA has 64 bachelor’s degrees, and liberal arts and business are the most popular. The university is also known for its strong sciences, engineering, computer security, and architecture programs.

An addition to the Recreation and Wellness Center has increased square footage and upgraded amenities. It now boasts a smoothie bar, an expanded pool with a lazy river, and the tallest climbing wall in the state.
