The University of Texas Pan American, which merged with UT Brownsville in 2015 to become UT Rio Grande Valley, was located in Edinburg, Texas, approximately 230 miles south of San Antonio in the Rio Grande Valley. The former campus, now the main campus of UTRGV, sits on a 238-acre site in a semi-urban setting, featuring modernist architecture characteristic of its 1960s expansion period. Originally founded in 1927 as Edinburg College, the institution evolved through several iterations before joining the University of Texas System in 1989. The campus serves a predominantly Hispanic student population from the surrounding Rio Grande Valley region, with notable academic strengths in engineering, business, and health sciences. The institution maintains strong ties to the local community through its medical school and healthcare programs, while offering comprehensive on-campus housing options for its student population.
