Mission

The University of Texas at San Antonio’s Office of K-16 Initiatives and Honors College strives to increase UTSA’s partnerships and collaborations with schools, business and industry and community-based organizations and foundations to strengthen the quality of education in San Antonio and South Texas from kindergarten to college. As a comprehensive university-wide effort, the Office of K-16 Initiatives and Honors College seeks to provide leadership in education reform and facilitate university involvement in public education through research and service. Additionally, the office seeks to increase the level of Advanced Placement (AP) professional development training for educators and student participation. The University Honors College aims to provide enhanced educational opportunities for motivated students. The philosophy of the program is that well-educated individuals understand broad, interdisciplinary perspectives as well as demonstrating expertise in their chosen field.  The University of Texas at San Antonio’s Office of K-16 Initiatives and Honors College efforts are in support of The University of Texas System’s K-16 Initiative.
