Library Resources Supporting B3 Initiatives: Home

Through the enhancement of culturally appropriate university coursework delivered bilingually and/or through Spanish and through community engaged teaching, research, and service, UTRGV emerges as an authentic Hispanic-serving Institution that builds on regional cultural and linguistic assets, as an integral part of how it transforms the Rio Grande Valley.

As a part of that vision, we are actively offering various courses with a Spanish language designation (E) or bilingual designation (X).

Office for Bilingual Integration

The Office for Bilingual Integration at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley facilitates the process through which the university becomes a bilingual, bicultural, and biliterate institution.

Mission

To accelerate the expansion of UTRGV as a Spanish-English bilingual, bicultural, and biliterate (B3) Hispanic-serving Institution reflective of the surrounding community. 

Main Goals

1. Build on the human, (bi)cultural, linguistic, social, community, and economic assets of the Río Grande Valley and Texas to integrate B3 into the university’s core values of excellence, inquiry, discovery, and creativity. 
   ​ ​
2. Lead in community engaged teaching, learning, research, and service to honor and sustain our linguistic and (bi)cultural past and transform our future.
