San Antonio College is a public community college in San Antonio, Texas, founded in 1925 as the oldest public two-year college in Texas. Part of the Alamo Colleges District, SAC is the largest single-campus community college in Texas and one of the largest in the United States, serving over 22,000 credit students annually. The college renamed its athletic teams from the Rangers to the Armadillos in 2021, reflecting a more unique Texas identity.

The college offers comprehensive associate degree and certificate programs across health sciences, business, technology, and the arts, and serves a diverse student population reflective of San Antonio's rich cultural heritage. SAC is a federally designated Hispanic-Serving Institution with strong commitments to student success, equity, and workforce alignment through partnerships with the local business community.
