The University of Texas- Pan American

The Right Choice

Everything you need to be successful is all right here at UTPA. Even though we have over 19,000 students on campus, our small classes, personal attention from faculty and convenient residence halls make you feel right at home. We've got a long list of things to brag about, from cutting edge research taking place in our labs to our award-winning Robotics team.

An active Graduate Resource Center offers valuable tools to help you succeed such as informative monthly workshops, a Teaching Academy, assistance with thesis and dissertation preparation and a Writing Center – at no additional cost. Learn more about the graduate school at www.utpa.edu/gradschool.

Be in the Right Place

Exciting things are happening in South Texas. Did you know that the region is one of the fastest growing areas in the nation? And UTPA's main campus, in Edinburg, is right in the middle of it all. Edinburg is near the U.S.-Mexico border and only a short drive to the sandy beaches of South Padre Island and the Gulf of Mexico —a great place to study and enjoy sunny, warm weather year-round.

Making the Right Move

We have a variety of choices for your home-away-from-home that will best match your lifestyle.

Unity Hall is UTPA Residence Life’s newest residential facility and closest to our award-winning Wellness and Recreational Sports Complex.

There are also Living-Learning Communities in our Heritage Hall residential facility where student communities generally share floors, attend classes together and ultimately, study together. Space is limited and availability is on a first-come, first-served basis. To find out more about living the Bronc Life, visit www.utpa.edu/reslife.
