Public university ยท San Antonio, Texas

  • AACSB accredited
  • MBA
  • Executive MBA
  • Part-Time MBA

University of Texas at San Antonio is a public university with graduate business programs in San Antonio, Texas. Those programs run through the Carlos Alvarez College of Business. The institution is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

The business school holds AACSB accreditation - one of 24 of the 25 schools in MBA Lab's Texas directory that do. It is the longest-established of the three business-school accreditors recognized in the United States, and it covers the school as a whole rather than any one program - a floor, not a ranking. More on accreditation.

Federal reporting puts graduate enrollment at 4,643 students, alongside 30,580 undergraduates. Total enrollment is not MBA cohort size - ask the admissions office how many students are in the specific program you're considering, which is usually a far smaller number and the one that shapes your experience.

Based on MBA Lab's directory data, the school offers a graduate MBA path, an executive MBA (EMBA) format designed for experienced professionals, and a part-time or evening MBA format for students who keep working. That puts it among the 10 of 25 schools in MBA Lab's Texas directory listing a part-time MBA. Format availability changes; confirm the current lineup with the school before planning around it.

It is the only school in San Antonio in this directory - the other 10 executive MBA options in Texas are elsewhere in the state, so weigh travel time against fit before ruling them out.

What to ask University of Texas at San Antonio

These questions are picked from what MBA Lab's data already says about this school, so they're the ones most likely to surface a real difference between it and the next school on your list.

  • Residency and tuition tier. As a public institution, University of Texas at San Antonio may price in-state and out-of-state students differently, and some programs charge a flat rate regardless. Ask which tier you'd fall into and whether it changes after a year of residency.
  • Cohort experience level. An EMBA's value is largely the room. Ask for the average years of work experience, the seniority mix, and how many classmates are employer-sponsored - a cohort of directors and a cohort of five-years-in analysts are different products at the same price.
  • Pace flexibility. Ask how long students typically take, whether you can drop to one class during a heavy work quarter without penalty, and how late evening sections actually run against your commute from work.
  • Where the degree is administered. Programs run through the Carlos Alvarez College of Business may have their own admissions timeline, aid pool, and career office, separate from the university's central graduate school. Confirm which office owns your application.
  • Ask for the school's own outcome numbers. The federal figures on this page cover business master's graduates who took federal aid, pooled across several years. The school's employment report will be narrower and more current - ask for it by program and by graduating class, not a blended average.

Reported outcomes

Median earnings, 1 year out $71,400 Median of 209 graduates working one year after completion -18% vs. the $87,219 median across MBA Lab's directory
Median earnings, 4 years out $109,260 Median of 180 graduates working four years after completion +53% against the 1-year figure - two separate cohorts measured at different times, not one group's career path

Among the 11 schools in MBA Lab's Texas executive MBA programs directory that report a figure, University of Texas at San Antonio ranks 10th by one-year earnings. Schools that report nothing are left out of that count rather than counted as zero.

What these numbers are. Figures cover graduates of master's-level programs in Business Administration, Management and Operations (CIP 52.02) who received federal financial aid. At some institutions that group includes business master's degrees other than the MBA, and it never includes graduates who took no federal aid - so these are a directional signal about a school's business master's programs, not an MBA salary report.

"Not reported" means College Scorecard publishes no figure for that school - usually too few federally-aided graduates to release without identifying them. It is not a low number, and these schools are excluded from every average on this page rather than counted as zero. A dash under AACSB means the school isn't on AACSB's accredited list; it may hold ACBSP or IACBE accreditation instead, which this directory doesn't track.
