UTB-CBIRD Report: “At The Crossroads” Education & Training 69 Master’s in Public Health Nursing (MSPHN) and a Bachelor’s in Applied Technology (BAT). While faculty growth has occurred -- proportionate to enrollment growth, faculty positions have effectively (not actually) declined. Without the continued acquisition of new programs and faculty positions, enrollment growth cannot be sustained to meet the demonstrated population growth imperative in UTB/TSC’s region of South Texas as called for by The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Figure 4.20 Relative Growth of Academic Programs, Enrollment and Faculty As of 2002, UTB/TSC’s most popular Associate Degree program was in Liberal Arts with 176 graduates followed by Health Sciences, Business, each with about 80 graduates and Science, Math, and Technology and Education each with about 20 graduates, Figure 4.22. The College of Liberal Arts is the largest of UTB/TSC’s five Colleges and Schools. In 2002, the majority of bachelor degrees were awarded in Liberal Arts (129), Business (117), followed by Science (52) and Education (47). The areas of study with the least bachelor degrees awarded are the new degrees in Health with 17 graduates; Science, Math, & Technology with 4. The most popular Master Degree program at UTB/TSC is Education, followed by Business and Liberal Arts. Figure 4.22.

UTB-CBIRD Report: “At The Crossroads” Education & Training 70 Workforce Training and Continuing Education at UTB/TSC The University as an economic engine helps the future of the region. Of all the different industries the community has as manufacturing, agriculture, trade, the Port, or any other business and industry, none of those can impact a community by themselves without an educated population. Juliet Garcia UTB/TSC President Interview, 2002 The UTB/TSC partnership is designed to address on-going community needs. In addition to degree production at all levels, the cross-border region requires that UTB/TSC maintain and develop an active Workforce Training and Continuing Education (WTCE) program. WTCE programs are specifically designed to address non-degree seeking educational and training needs across the community. Over the period 1999 to 2002, WTCE enrollment at UTB/TSC has grown by 78%, from 5,900 to 13,200 students. During the same period, WTCE program growth has increased by 85% from 28 programs in 1999 to 52 in 2002. While the WTCE budget has increased by 18% in the past four years, revenues have increased by 70% during the same period. The exponential growth experienced by UTB/TSC’s Workforce Training and Continuing Education program, 1999- 2002, indicates the magnitude of the unmet need in the community and crossborder region of South Texas. UTB/TSC’s Int’l Technology, Education & Commerce Campus (ITEC) Dream with me… dream with us… We have recently acquired a retired shopping mall which includes a 550,000 square foot building, located on approximately 60 acres of land with about 3100 parking spaces. At the current rate of development It would take more than 20 years to develop the current campus to the size of the mall space that was acquired in a single acquisition. This acquisition almost doubles the current physical space on campus. At the former Amigoland Mall location UTB/TSC will create an International Technology Center and co-locate federal/state/local economic development activities for “one stop shopping” and provide flexible training space and incubate new crossborder businesses.. Tony Zavaleta VP for External Affairs, UTB June 26, 2002 In 2002 UTB/TSC acquired the Amigoland Mall property now known as the International Technology, Education and Commerce Campus (ITEC). UTB/TSC is developing a comprehensive plan for the approximately 600,000 sq. ft. facility to focus on International trade and emerging technology sector jobs using publicprivate partnerships. The envisioned plan, which will evolve over the next several years, includes the following components: Una Region -- Un Futuro
