In 1991, Texas Southmost College and UT Brownsville entered into a unique arrangement to maximize resources and bring additional educational opportunities to the communities of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. The partnership offers students a seamless educational process by eliminating barriers when transferring between the two institutions located on the same campus.
The partnership provides a single faculty, a single administration, and a single staff to carry out more efficiently the combined missions of a community college and a university. It brings together a governor-appointed board of regents, which is the governing board that operates all programs and services of the partnership, and a locally elected community college board of trustees, which owns the campus and monitors the lower-division programs, to address the educational needs of the area.
