Our mission

Our School of Nursing is one of five schools at UT Health San Antonio, the only academic health science center in South Texas and chief catalyst for San Antonio’s thriving $40.2-billion-dollar health care and biosciences industry.

Our graduate programs include, the MSN, and DNP graduate degree in advanced-practice nursing, executive leadership and public health, as well as a Ph.D. in nursing for those preparing for a research career.

Our school employs a state-of-the-art Center for Simulation Innovation for clinical education, as well as a growing patient care practice providing primary and acute care at our own clinic, Wellness 360, and at a variety of community partner sites. As leaders in community outreach, we also operate a mobile health unit used for disaster relief and other missions. Students will enjoy a variety of clinical rotations and our low student to faculty ratio. With more than 400 clinical affiliates, we secure preceptors for our students—guaranteed.

Our expert faculty holds prestigious endowed chairs and 12 of our faculty are Fellows of the American Academy of Nursing.

Our doors opened in 1969

On May 29, 1969, the Texas Legislature passed a bill to establish The University of Texas System School of Nursing at San Antonio in response to a nursing shortage.
