MAY 31, 2023 — The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has approved the creation of an Interdisciplinary School for Engagement in the Humanities and Social Sciences within the UTSA College of Liberal and Fine Arts (COLFA). The new school will launch in fall 2023 and will be known as the “E-school” for short.
The establishment of the school is an outcome of COLFA’s Tactical Visioning exercise. Starting in the fall of 2021, COLFA initiated the exercise to identify its greatest strengths and opportunities, lay the groundwork for future strategic planning, and coalesce a shared identity amongst its nine academic departments.
The mission of the Interdisciplinary School is to create and sustain an interdisciplinary environment that integrates knowledge from the arts, humanities, and social sciences in ways that engage with and respond to contemporary challenges in San Antonio and globally. To start, the Interdisciplinary School will house four programs with varied curriculum that reaches across the entirety of the academically diverse college: a B.A. in Medical Humanities, the Minor in Latin American Studies, the Minor in Museum Studies and the new Film/Media program.
