A Special Message from our Dean

The UT San Antonio School of Nursing offers five academic programs, consisting of BSN, DNP and PhD degrees and specialty certificates. First-generation college students represent one-third of the undergraduate enrollment, along with a 20% male population. The total student body consists of more than 900 students. Learn more about our nursing undergraduate and graduate academic programs.

The School of Nursing is designated by the National League of Nursing as a Center of Excellence. The Simulation Center is accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH).

The School of Nursing strives to develop leaders to improve health and healthcare through education, research, practice, and community engagement. Our students engage with the faculty on the numerous opportunities that are in place to serve the San Antonio community and South Texas region. Many of these opportunities will afford students the experience of interprofessional collaboration and advocating for all populations.

The school also operates a patient-care clinical practice that provides primary and acute care at its Wellness 360 clinics, both on campus and at a variety of community partner sites. A mobile clinic delivers services in our community through grant-supported initiatives and partnerships with community organizations.

Residing in the School of Nursing is the South Texas Area Health Education Center (STAHEC) which is a part of a network of AHEC programs designed to improve healthcare access and education in underserved areas. Numerous programs are offered to enhance education and training networks within communities, academic institutions and community-based organizations.
