GPS Micro-credentialing
Graduate and postdoctoral training at UTSA is predicated on the development of a set of interconnected skills and competencies that lead to academic and career success. To this end, the UTSA Graduate School provides competency-based professional development opportunities. To assist graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in tracking their skills acquisition, The Graduate School offers credentials or "badges" for achieving competencies delivered through various experiences.
Level Up
The Level Up Loyalty Program rewards students and postdocs who attend professional development events throughout the fall and spring semesters. Attend events and earn exclusive UTSA Graduate School swag items (per semester).
Transdisciplinary Team Grand Challenge
Our challenge to UTSA graduate student researchers is to work together across disciplines to propose conceptual projects to address any aspect of conflict, including broad topics such as conflict prevention, management and resolution and narrower topics such as expression of conflict in music and art or historical depictions of specific conflicts.
