MAY 29, 2024 — The UTSA School of Art is celebrating a remarkable journey as San Antonio’s destination for affordable, high-quality arts education. Since its inception five decades ago when it started out as the Division of Art and Architecture and then became the Department of Art and Art History, the school, which is housed in the university’s College of Liberal and Fine Arts, has awarded Roadrunners more than 2,700 art and art history degrees.
Over the years, the School of Art has expanded its academic offerings. Both the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) and Master of Fine Arts degrees were offered starting at the founding of UTSA in 1973. Since its accreditation by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) in 1980, the school has maintained a tradition of excellence, reflected through successive re-accreditations in 1988, 1998, 2008 and 2018.
