Our Researchers Bring Everything to Make Discoveries That Change Everything

Every day our researchers and students are driving innovations, answering questions, and creating solutions for people, communities, and industries across Texas and around the world.

For example, in 2026 the National Science Foundation made a $7.5 million investment in Texas State University researchers to develop a different kind of microchip that can handle more energy and empower technologies from the next generation of electric vehicles to, one day, U.S. Navy vessels.

Rising in the Pac-12

Following three consecutive bowl-winning seasons in football and capturing the Sun Belt Conference all-sports trophy three times since 2022, Bobcat Athletics officially joined the Pac-12 Conference in July 2026. The move elevates us to the biggest stage in collegiate competition, with new opponents, new challenges, and new victories.
