About the University of Houston-Victoria
The University of Houston-Victoria, located in the heart of the
Coastal Bend region, is an upper-level institution that offers undergraduate
and graduate students more than 30 degree programs and concentrations
in the Schools of Arts & Sciences, Business, and Education.
A faculty of experts at UHV offers students individual attention
to help them succeed, whether learning in a classroom or online.
UHV is defined more as a delivery system than as a location, as
the university extends instruction, learning support, student services
and community outreach to any area. Although it serves primarily
commuting students from Victoria and surrounding counties, UHV also
offers degree programs, in collaboration with other UH System institutions,
at two off-campus centers in Fort Bend County and offers courses
at a number of off-campus sites in the region. Since its founding
in 1973, outreach, community partnerships and collaboration have
characterized UHV’s history and mission.
