The Texas State University System is the state's third major university system to announce the development of a bachelor's degree that only costs $10,000 — a response to Gov. Rick Perry's 2011 call for more affordable higher education offerings. Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College, an upper-division college in the Texas State University System, has partnered with Southwest Texas Junior College to create a new "10K Scholars Program." Its degree model, which will become available in fall 2013, appears to be something of a hybrid of the previous two models introduced in the state.
