Dear Friends,

Welcome to The University of Texas-Pan American celebrating its 80th year of educational service in South Texas. You’ve come to the right place!

At UTPA the administrators, faculty and staff are committed to your academic and life success. To that end, we offer our prospective students thorough one-on-one academic and financial aid advisement. We are working to make college affordable for everyone. In addition, we are constantly in motion to create opportunities, promote academic excellence, develop research and shape tomorrow’s leaders.

Many of our UTPA alumni are already making major contributions to this region and to this state in the classrooms, courts, hospitals and halls of Congress. Our current students are winning national competitions against some of the country’s most prestigious institutions. Our College of Science and Engineering, Baylor premed program, international business degree program, bilingual education program and award-winning UTPA Mariachi are all getting national attention.

As a student here you’ll get a personalized education from supportive and highly credentialed faculty. Living in a bicultural, border region will enhance your academic experience. You’ll meet like-minded students fully engaged in their quest for a quality education and, along the way you’ll make lifelong friends.

We encourage you to learn more about UTPA by navigating through our Web site and connecting with our faculty, staff and programs. We also invite you to visit us in South Texas, one of the fastest growing regions in the nation, and tour our beautiful campus in person.
