History

In September 1925, SAC was first established as University Junior College under the administration of the University of Texas. However, the attorney general for the State of Texas ruled that the University of Texas was in violation of the state's constitution by operating a junior college. Therefore, the college was passed to the San Antonio board of education and renamed San Antonio Junior College. In August 1946, San Antonio Junior College was renamed again after control of the school passed from the board of trustees. San Antonio College was adopted as the official name in 1948, and in 1951, SAC was moved to its present location on San Pedro Avenue. Accreditation was granted to the college in 1955 from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

San Antonio College is also approved and accredited by the Board of Nurse Examiners for the State of Texas, the Association of Texas Colleges and Universities, the Texas Educational Theater Association, the Texas Association of Music Schools, the National League for Nursing, the American Board of Funeral Service Education, the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, the Southern Association of Junior Colleges, the Commission of Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association, the Committee on Allied Health Education, and the Texas Public Community and Junior College Association.

Academics

San Antonio College serves the Bexar County community by providing high quality general education, liberal arts and sciences, career education, continuing education and developmental education. In December 2007, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) awarded San Antonio College a rating of "exemplary" for seven of its academic programs. However, in January 2008, the rating was revised to include additional programs bringing the total to eleven. The eleven programs receiving this designation are business management, Computer-aided design, dental assisting, Radio-TV and Film, Nursing education, finance and financial management, medical assisting, mortuary science, American Sign Language/Interpreter Training, public administration and real estate. This rating means that all eleven programs exceed the State of Texas' required standards of excellence in education.
