A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:

Texas State University is located in two separate campuses. The largest is the San Marcos Campus situated within the burgeoning City of San Marcos and contains more than 491 acres, 207 buildings, and more than 8,000,000 GSF. This campus houses ten colleges and provides a wide range of baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral degrees. It is defined by the natural topographic beauty of the central Texas Hill Country, Spring Lake, and the San Marcos River.
Texas State University operates a second campus located in Williamson County, 20 miles north of the City of Austin. The Round Rock Campus, on 101 acres with five buildings totaling over 325,000 GSF is home to the Health Professions department and the nursing program.

Texas State University has an additional 4,000 acres of academic, agricultural, research, and recreation areas which include Freeman Ranch and University Camp. Also included is the off-campus KTSW radio transmitter, the L.D. and LaVerne Harrell Clark House, the Albert B. Library Archives and Research Center, STAR One and the ALERRT training center.
