Positively. The two institutions have collaborated for years. Students who ordinarily go straight to the university will continue to do so. What it will offer is if San Marcos ISD joins the ACC taxing district they'll pay in-district tuition, which is much cheaper. Then someone in San Marcos can go to ACC for the first couple of years, and transfer those credits to Texas State to get their BA, BS, etc. And of course many may just go only to ACC for continuing education, which is good for the San Marcos workforce.
