The university's core technology stack consists of conventional higher-education infrastructure — Ellucian Banner for student information, Blackboard for learning management, and Microsoft 365 for email — augmented by a High Performance Research Computing (HPRC) cluster supporting the JagAI research initiative and student research programs such as INSPIRE REU and JAGRISE.

The university functions as an anchor institution for South San Antonio, with approximately three-quarters of students originating from and remaining in Bexar County after graduation, and reported a $292.6 million economic impact in the county for fiscal year 2022-23 supporting 3,242 regional jobs.
