Texas State University

Texas State University, located in San Marcos, was established in 1889, as the Southwest Texas State Normal School. In 1903, the first 303 students were enrolled to study teaching in the Old Main building, the first building constructed and included on the National Register of Historic Places. Throughout the years, the university has expanded to encompass 457 acres of land, in the Southern Plains region of Texas. Texas State University remains the only higher-education institution in Texas to have a former United States President as an alumni. In 1965, Lyndon B.

The university's 34,000 students pursue undergraduate and post-graduate degrees from the university's nine academic colleges, in its fifty departments and schools.
