A regional comprehensive university with approximately 6,500 students (Fall 2017) enrolled in undergraduate programs and select graduate programs.

Part of the statewide Texas A&M University System, A&M-SA is located on 694 acres in south San Antonio and serves a diverse student body. The university received independent accreditation by SACSCOC in December 2014. Built in the style of the historic Spanish missions, the main campus facilities leverage technology to enhance the university’s commitment to student success, while embracing the spirit of San Antonio’s rich culture.

The university is seeking excellent faculty candidates to fill the following positions starting in the fall of 2018.

 

A&M-SA is committed to diversity among faculty and inclusive excellence.
