SEPTEMBER 1, 2022 — The University of Texas at San Antonio today announced the establishment of the School of Music, a new school within the College of Liberal and Fine Arts (COLFA) created as a result of recent efforts to contemporize and elevate the college through the Tactical Visioning exercise that began in 2021.

The School of Music will supersede and continue the efforts of the Department of Music with 62 faculty members serving over 300 music majors and dance minors, as well as serving hundreds of additional students from across the university who participate in music and dance courses.
