<v Greg Ortiz> The University of Houston is significantly expanding higher education offerings

3
00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:15.000 align:middle
<v Greg Ortiz> by creating innovative partnerships with community colleges

4
00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:17.600 align:middle
<v Greg Ortiz> that will allow students to earn their degree closer to home. 

5
00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:23.030 align:middle
<v Greg Ortiz> Jay Neal, chief operating officer of UH at Katy and UH at Sugar Land, says the programs are

6
00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:26.900 align:middle
<v Greg Ortiz> the next step in making a 4 year degree from UH more accessible to the region.

7
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.200 align:middle
<v Jay Neal> It’s phenomenal. In my mind these are both game changers for the communities.

00:00:31.300 --> 00:00:34.060 align:middle
<v Greg Ortiz> In Katy, the Cullen College of Engineering and Houston Community College

00:00:34.070 --> 00:00:38.100 align:middle
<v Greg Ortiz> are partnering to create the UH HCC Engineering Academy. 

10
00:00:38.300 --> 00:00:42.400 align:middle
<v Greg Ortiz> The program will allow students to complete their core requirements at HCC

11
00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:44.500 align:middle
<v Greg Ortiz> and finish their engineering degree at UH at Katy.

12
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:50.000 align:middle
<v Jay Neal> That’s gonna just produce an exceptional engineer for the greater region.

13
00:00:50.300 --> 00:00:54.500 align:middle
<v Greg Ortiz> And for the first time ever, Bauer College of Business classes will be offered at UH at Sugar Land,

14
00:00:54.900 --> 00:01:01.000 align:middle
<v Greg Ortiz> allowing students to complete the first three years of a bachelors in Business Administration there, with the final year at UH. 

15
00:01:01.300 --> 00:01:06.800 align:middle
<v Jay Neal> We’re responding to the business community’s needs. We could offer all kinds of different degrees, 

16
00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:11.500 align:middle
<v Jay Neal> but if there’s not jobs—good jobs—at the end of the road we’re not setting our students up for success.

17
00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:14.000 align:middle
<v Greg Ortiz> For UH moment, I’m Greg Ortiz.
