Education

The San Antonio MSA hosts 14 colleges and universities offering degrees in all major fields of study and educating more than 100,000 students. Through a community-wide effort known as SA2020, Mayor Julián Castro intends to orchestrate one of the greatest turnarounds in education in the United States by providing the community with access to quality education and career opportunities. With an already robust education system, the initiative positions San Antonio’s current and future workforce ahead of other major markets.
