From San Marcos and Round Rock to online programs to local co-enrollment and transfer pathways, TXST has flexible options for every student to work toward their life goals.
Find Your Community
Our student-led traditions, game days, academics, arts, service, and culture create the everyday moments that make a university more than just a school: It becomes a new home.
Discover Your Purpose
Students and faculty come together in labs, in the field, in the classroom, and in the community to drive research, create art, and make a lasting mark on the world.
Reaching Beyond Central Texas
Our impact is felt beyond our campuses and shapes communities beyond Texas. As the fourth largest public institution in Texas and the 24th largest undergraduate enrollment in the U.S., we are a powerful economic engine and a catalyst for life-changing experiences.

Texas State is educating more students, starting more careers, preparing more innovative, imaginative, and dynamic leaders than ever.
43% of TXST students are first-gen, the first in their families to attend college

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.
