Texas State Snapshot
Texas State University-San Marcos is saddled up and ready to rope some graduates. The former Southwest Texas State University (the name was changed in 2003) was originally a teacher's college founded by the state legislature in 1903. The school has more than 29,000 students pursuing degrees in about 100 undergraduate programs, nearly 90 graduate programs, and eight doctoral programs. Comprising eight colleges as well as a graduate school, Texas State is the largest school in the Texas State University system, which includes Angelo State University, Lamar University, Sam Houston State University, and Sul Ross State University. It also offers bachelor's and graduate-level courses at a campus in Round Rock.
