As the hometown university of Military City USA, The University of Texas at San Antonio serves one of the nation’s largest active, former and retired military populations.
Seven percent of the student body at UT San Antonio are veterans and 16% are military-affiliated students — active-duty service members, military family members and students in the Reserve Officer Training Corps.
The university has been recognized multiple times for its commitment to supporting military-affiliated students, including being ranked No. 53 out of 304 institutions in the Military Times’ 2024 Best for Vets: Colleges List.
