UT Health San Antonio School of Nursing

The School of Nursing at The UT Health Science Center San Antonio, also known as UT Health San Antonio, is at the forefront of nursing education. We lead excellence in nursing leadership through our innovative teaching, quality research, compassionate care and community service for our South Texas community and the world.

As part of the only Tier 1 research university in South Texas and one of the major academic health science centers in the nation, our school of nursing is the only school in this region to offer doctorate nursing degrees. We are educating future nurse care providers, but more importantly serving as the "leadership pipleline" for faculty, clinical leaders and specialists, nurse practitioners and nurse scientists.

With the increasing shortage of well-trained nurses in Texas and across the country, our school is committed to preparing nursing students to meet today's complex healthcare field. We offer the traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) to students and have alternative pathways for Associate Degree RNs and second degree programs for students who have completed a baccalaureate degree in another field. Combined with the expertise of nationally recognized faculty and the opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration, our students receive an education that prepares them to be nursing leaders.

Rich diversity in a student body of more than 750 reflects our commitment to educate the next generation of compassionate, culturally-proficient nursing healthcare professionals at all levels of nursing education. More than 9,000 nursing graduates of the UT Health Science Center San Antonio School of Nursing are shaping the healthcare practices of today and transforming the future of nursing care for tomorrow.
