The College of Education and Human Development (COEHD) at The University of Texas at SanAntonio (UTSA) and the Alamo Colleges District (ACD) are excited to announce the establishment of the Transfer Academy for Future Teachers (TAFT). This program was designed to create a seamless educational experience between the institutions for students seeking to become teachers.
