Texas State's main campus is in San Marcos, a growing community of 54,000 people in the Austin Metropolitan Area. Located in the Texas Hill Country, where blackland prairies roll into beautiful hills, Texas State enjoys a setting that is unique among Texas universities. The beauty of the crystal-clear San Marcos River and the stately cypress and oak trees on the campus add to the charm of the university’s picturesque setting. Our location on the banks of the San Marcos River provides recreational activities for students throughout the year. The Texas State University Round Rock Campus is located north of Austin.

San Marcos Campus

Completed in 1903, the red-roofed, castle-like landmark called Old Main was Texas State's first building. As the university's student population has grown — from 303 in 1903 to 35,546 in 2013 — our San Marcos campus also has expanded. Today it consists of a 486-acre main campus and 5,038 additional acres in recreational, instructional, farm and ranch land. The Texas State campus is as diverse as the students who live and learn here. Our hilly grounds are home to 268 buildings. Some, like Old Main, are as old as the university itself. Others, such as the Performing Arts Center, opened in 2014 and more new buildings are scheduled for completion soon. At The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment on the Texas State campus, you can see the second-largest springs in Texas through the floor of a glass-bottom boat or glass-bottom kayak. These springs feed the San Marcos River and are home to eight endangered species, including the Texas blind salamander. Our campus is one of the best places in the world to study aquatic ecosystems and species.

History

Authorized by the Texas Legislature in 1899, Southwest Texas State Normal School opened its doors in 1903. Over the years, the Legislature broadened the institution's scope and changed its name, in succession, to Southwest Texas State Normal College, Southwest Texas State Teachers College, Southwest Texas State College, Southwest Texas State University, and in 2003 to Texas State University. Each name reflects the university's growth from a small teacher preparation institution to a major, multipurpose university. Texas State's original mission was to prepare Texas public school teachers. It became renowned for carrying out this mission, but today it does far more.
