3. UTSA Online
General Information
UTSA is proud to offer fully online degree and certificate programs that provide a way for students to reach their educational goals without ever having to step foot on campus. UTSA Online (formerly Online Programs) remains on a mission to serve our local and national community by offering the same quality degree programs as our residential campus.
Same degree. Same faculty. Same rigor.
These Online Programs should not be confused with other internet-based courses provided by the residential campus, which are traditional classes offered remotely but not through UTSA Online. Residential programs, including those that offer internet-based courses, are funded, priced, and supported differently than our 100% online programs.
Tuition, Fees, and Financial Aid Options
Whether our students are in-state or out-of-state, our 100% online students enjoy the same price per unit, and students have numerous financial aid and payment options available, including military benefits, scholarships, etc.
Note: Students who are enrolled only in a certificate program are not eligible to use financial aid or Veterans Administration educational benefits.
Degree Requirements
Students enrolled in an online degree program will follow the same institutional requirements to complete a bachelor’s degree as defined in this catalog, which include:
- Completing the Core Curriculum requirements
- Successfully completing any applicable Gateway Courses required by the program
- Completing a minimum of 120 semester credit hours and achieving an overall 2.0 grade point average in all work attempted at UTSA
- Meeting the minimum UTSA Residence Requirements
Term Options
UTSA Online classes are offered in a mix of term lengths:
- Fall/Spring Terms: 8-week and 16-week
- Summer Terms: 4-week, 5-week, 8-week, and 10-week
Students may be able to choose any combination of class lengths based on availability and the number of credits being taken at any given time but must still adhere to the semester credit hour limits in the UTSA Student Policies.
