Marcus Clayton had never seen the University of Houston-Victoria before he came to freshman orientation for the university’s FIRST 200 on June 23, but once he got on campus, he was pleased.

“I really like it,” he said.

The recent graduate of Northshore High School in Houston plans on staying busy in the fall at UHV by working toward his goal of eventually becoming a mechanical engineer.

“I am looking forward to seeing how it is at college,” he said. “I’ll be focusing on being successful.”

Clayton was involved with both basketball and track at Northshore.

The University of Houston-Victoria, located in the heart of the Coastal Bend region, offers courses leading to approximately 60 bachelor’s and master’s degree programs and concentrations in the schools of Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Education & Human Development, and Nursing. UHV provides face-to-face classes at its Victoria campus as well as teaching sites in Fort Bend, Harris and Montgomery counties, and online classes that students can take from anywhere. Since its founding in 1973, UHV has provided students with a quality university education from excellent faculty at an affordable price.
