The first of its kind in Texas, the UTSA School of Data Science connects and co-locates UTSA’s talent and resources in cyberscience, data science and data management into one powerful new school. The school’s location in the heart of San Antonio provides government, industry and community partners with access to UTSA’s nationally recognized programs and expertise.

UTSA’s School of Data Science answers the national call for a highly skilled workforce to fill growing needs in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, big data and data analytics, business intelligence and digital asset management. Collaboration across these distinct disciplines will foster radical innovation to address critical challenges.

Launched in 2019, the UTSA National Security Collaboration Center (NSCC) is a powerful ecosystem in which over 60 government, industry and academia partners join forces to tackle challenges to national security.

The NSCC advances research, education and workforce development focused in the areas of cyber security, data analytics, cloud computing, and electromagnetic spectrum defense, including advanced wireless technologies. There are opportunities for collaboration on research projects (short- and long-term); infrastructure investment; faculty consultations; student internships and externships.

The research centers and institutes at UTSA are cross-disciplinary collaborations within the University that sponsor research that informs public policy, builds cultural understanding, improves medical care, enhances scientific knowledge and often advances economic development. With 32 research centers and institutes on campus, there are ample opportunities to collaborate with researchers on projects and initiatives.

Disciplines include national security, cyber, cloud, AI, policy (all aspects including a focus on civic, disenfranchised, and border), advanced and cyber manufacturing, sustainable energy, water, extreme environments, archelogy, cultural substantiality, urban planning and resilience, brain health, neurosciences, drug discovery, regenerative medicine, cellular and precision therapeutics, infectious disease, demographic and socioeconomic research, health disparities, and all aspects of education (including research, design, evaluation, program implementation, and collaboration), with a particular focus on urban education, engineering, and the sciences.

Located in the Development division, the Office of Corporate and Foundation Engagement (CFE) works closely with REDKE and serves as the single point of entry for companies, foundations, and industry professionals seeking access to university resources. In collaboration with campus partners, CFE seeks to transform the partnership model at UTSA, by holistically coordinating and guiding UTSA’s industry and foundation relationships from one centralized office.
