UT San Antonio launched its new College of AI, Cyber and Computing in fall 2025 to meet growing demand in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and advanced computing.
The college brings together four departments: Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems and Cybersecurity, and Statistics and Data Science.
The college is housed downtown in the newly opened San Pedro I and II buildings, positioning students near key government, military, business, and community partners.
It serves over 5,300 students and offers 11 undergraduate and 12 graduate programs focused on cutting-edge technology fields.
University leaders aim to align classroom learning with real-world job needs, capitalizing on projected job growth exceeding 30% by 2031 in these sectors.
San Antonio’s strategic economic focus on advanced technology is bolstered by its existing strong cybersecurity presence and the growing private-sector cyber industry.
The new Texas Cyber Command is temporarily based in UTSA’s San Pedro I building, underscoring the synergy between education and public-sector cyber needs.
Dr. Jinjun Xiong is the founding dean of the College of AI, Cyber and Computing.
