Why Pursue a Nursing - Multidisciplinary Studies Bachelor's Degree
UTSA provides a pathway for students who are interested in a Nursing degree through a 2+2 program with UT Heath San Antonio. Students who qualify and get accepted into this program will eventually receive a B.S. degree in Multidisciplinary Studies from UTSA and a B.S. degree in Nursing from UT Health San Antonio.
