The Texas State University System, founded in 1911, is the first higher education system established in Texas. Beginning as an administrative means to consolidate the support and management of state teacher colleges, the System has evolved into a network of higher education institutions stretching from the Texas–Louisiana border to the Big Bend region of west Texas.

Today, seven component institutions offer a broad range of academic and career opportunities. Throughout the System, you will find professionals committed to preparing students for working and contributing to our global society. The academic and professional programs we offer help them make sound decisions in life and become contributors in their communities.

Each university, college and institute within The Texas State University System is highlighted within this website. Additional literature is available from each institution, and contact information is referenced within each section featured.

The Texas State University System is governed by a nine-member Board of Regents appointed by the governor. In addition, a nonvoting student regent is appointed annually to the board. The administration, which is headed by a board-appointed chancellor, is based in Austin, where it provides support to the System components and state government.
