UTSA and UT Health San Antonio have announced a merger making it the third-largest research university in Texas.About 1,000 incoming students crowded into an auditorium on UTSA’s campus last Thursday, just as news began to spread about aSan Antonio, another renowned higher education institution just down the road. When word got out, they began to cheer.
Those groups will help create a prospectus for the new institution, which will be presented to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges for approval before the merger can be finalized. Some aspects of the merger will be done more quickly, he added, and some could take as long as five years.
“These two institutions are very complimentary, both on steep trajectories,” he said. “We’re not thinking of this as one plus one equals two. No, it is really one plus one equals 10.” The UTSA Bold program, for example, provides tuition and fee-free college for top students, and the promise-to-promise program provides a path for students to transfer from one of the colleges in the Alamo College District to complete a four-year degree.
