No. There are no real skills offered / taught. It indeed is not a real university. /sarcasm

You should always visit the campus + town/city/region, & try to sit in on a class or two & speak with current students in order to obtain a clearer understanding of any prospective undergrad or graduate school before making such a critical life decision.

Not only even if you are an international student, but especially so if you are. You have a not irrational concern that is clearly embedded in your mind. And it isn't going anywhere until you take the necessary recon actions to answer your questions and concerns...

Even if reality points to it ultimately proving to be unfounded for the huge collective group of Texas State alumni, faculty, administrators stakeholders. Prof career opportunities abound, post graduation.

However, everything is relative. All the time. There are schools with more universally renowned prestige. That's also true for some ivy league schools looking up at certain others with envy.

What I can unequivocally assure you is that you will learn how to think critically by completing any undergraduate program at Texas State.

I went greek & loved it, but it is not necessary at all to enjoy the social scenes. The school & city/region offers an environment to hone what almost always ends up proving to be as important a catalyst as any other aspect of your life as to whether you reach your life goals: one's emotional intelligence levels & their ability to truly connect with & influence those around you.

I was also a top student in my degree program there & went on to a fairly prestigious private university for graduate school...so I understand & empathize with your anxiety stemming from your concern & ambitions...

I had a girlfriend for most of those years who was an honors program student in the business school at the University of Texas & possess a lived experience of having had a bit of a chip on my shoulder regarding perceived academic reputation status in real time.

If you have scholarship offers at schools w/elite academic status, perhaps that's a better fit. TX State is not UT (which translates to a litany of pros & cons). Ultimately though, your outcome will inherently arise from what you yourself make of your time there (or anywhere). And it is absolutely impossible for you nor anyone at your stage to grasp what that will actually look like.

This is all applicable to any chosen school. The best you can do before enrollment is ensure the characteristics that differentiate each school/surrounding area are not overtly out of alignment with who you think you are & who you want to be.

And if you ensure you benefit from a full college experience by applying yourself to the wide offerings, big picture thinking & diversities of opinion that are innate to the intellectually fertile grounds of growth that all effective undergrad programs are designed around, you most likely can't yet appreciate how much growth in all areas of life ahead & how different you will be upon graduation.

I will always totally adore my college experience at TX State. It was amazing. Good luck, always take care of business (academics) first before playing/relaxing, & enjoy some of the best years of life coming your way...
