This week on bigcitysmalltown, we take a deep dive into UTSA Honors College—one of the most unique and rapidly evolving honors programs in Texas. Unlike traditional programs, UTSA Honors College is built around real-world experience, preparing students for competitive careers, top graduate programs, and leadership roles. But what makes this program different?
Bob sits down with Dr. Jill Fleuriet, Vice Provost for Honors Education at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), to explore the college’s transformative approach to education, how it’s expanding opportunities for high-achieving students, and why UTSA can be poised to be a national leader in experiential learning.
They discuss:
• How UTSA Honors College is redefining the college experience
• The career and graduate school advantages for UTSA Honors students
• Why experiential learning is the future of higher education
• The newest programs, partnerships, and student opportunities at UTSA
