International Pathway

International Students enrolled in UTSA’s International Pathway can expect to have an easier transition into the U.S. classroom, personalized attention, and career growth assistance.

UTSA's International Pathway is designed for international students who want to improve their English language skills while earning college credit toward a UTSA undergraduate or graduate degree. As part of the pathway program, international students who want to study in the U.S. will be better prepared to achieve their educational goals.

UTSA is the largest university in San Antonio and offers 160+ degree programs across a wide range of disciplines. Nationally ranked for biomedical, environmental, mechanical and doctoral engineering programs, UTSA offers outstanding academics, ongoing support services, and a welcoming environment for international students.

UTSA is committed to helping international students get acclimated to life at a university in the U.S. International Pathway students will be conditionally admitted – guaranteed acceptance upon successful completion of all Pathway programming – and will take a certain number of credit-bearing courses according to their level of English.

Once your pathway is complete, you can continue your education at UTSA and choose from 60+ undergraduate areas of study or your graduate track of choice across eight colleges: College of Architecture, Construction and Planning, Carlos Alvarez College of Business, College of Education and Human Development, College of Engineering and Integrated Design, College of Liberal and Fine Arts, College for Health, Community & Policy, and College of Sciences.

Curated by an award-winning faculty, our diverse set of programs will prepare you for nearly any professional career or scholarly pursuit. UTSA remains relevant to an ever-changing job market and will help set you on the right path toward achieving your dreams.

UTSA makes success possible for International Pathway students through a wide range of services, including visa application and interview help, student and family orientation, English-language tutoring and ESL classes, personalized courses, internship opportunities, professional and developmental workshops, cultural events and experiences that ensure success in and out of the classroom.
