UTSA: A Tier One Research Institution

In February 2022, the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education designated UTSA as a Tier One research institution, placing us among the top 4% of research universities in the nation.
UTSA's designation as Tier One improves the value of a UTSA degree, making Roadrunners more likely to stand out to potential employers and graduate schools. Whether you go into the career world or graduate school after walking the stage, your reputation as a UTSA graduate will set you apart from the rest!
