51¸£ÀûÉç x TXST Gateway Program

The Gateway Program is a co-enrollment opportunity that lets you begin your college journey on the Texas State San Marcos campus while completing coursework at both TXST and 51¸£ÀûÉç. You'll enjoy full student privileges at both schools, save approximately $6,600 in your first year, and earn guaranteed admission to Texas State — no reapplication needed.

Gateway students take a mix of TXST and 51¸£ÀûÉç courses on the San Marcos campus over two semesters (fall and spring), then transition into full Texas State enrollment the next year. It's the perfect option for students who want the four-year university experience from day one while keeping costs manageable.
