Q:Now that UHV is adding underclassmen, will you still accept transfer students?
A: Absolutely. The University of Houston-Victoria was started in 1973 as an upper-level institution to allow community college students access to bachelor's and master's degrees. Even though we are becoming a destination university, UHV will still welcome many students from area community colleges.
In fact, we maintain special agreements with area community colleges to help ensure a seamless transfer to a UHV degree plan. For more information, students can check with advisers at their community college or UHV.
Community colleges also will play a vital role in UHV's future through various partnerships and cooperative agreements.
Q:After UHV adds freshmen and sophomores, will you still have online classes?
A: Yes. UHV has long been a leader in the world of online education. We began offering online classes in 1997 and offered our first all-online degree in 1999 at a time when many cities were first getting the Internet.
We will continue to offer students the high accessibility and scheduling flexibility provided by Internet classes. In fact, we are introducing even more entirely online degree programs this fall.
As UHV expands, the number of online offerings will grow with our traditional face-to-face classes.
Q:I'm a teacher, and I'm wanting to do something different in my career. I'm just not sure what I want to do. Is UHV offering anything new in the education field?
A: The UHV School of Education & Human Development is offering three new master's degree concentrations starting this fall you might want to consider.
The new student affairs concentration in the master's degree of counseling will prepare graduates for any job in student support services in academia, including career counseling, academic advising, enrollment management and student services coordination.
The program is available entirely online.
The adult and higher educational leadership concentration under the master's degree in administration & supervision will prepare graduates to take leadership roles in business, educational institutions and non-profit organizations that provide adult development opportunities.
The secondary education certificate under the master's degree in curriculum & instruction will prepare someone to be a stronger high school teacher or a community college instructor, or to teach dual high school/college credit courses.
A limited number of scholarships are available specifically for these programs that will be awarded on a first come, first served basis.
For more information on these or other courses offered by the School of Education & Human Development, contact recruitment coordinator Sandy Hybner at 361-570-4252 or hybners@uhv.edu.
