Welcome to the University of Houston-Victoria, home of the Jaguars, and part of the University of Houston System.Students are the heart of every university, indeed, our very reason for existence,
and we are pleased that you are joining the UHV family. UHV is home to outstanding faculty, students and staff, all playing a vital role in creating the dynamic learning environment our
students have come to value.
You are attending UHV at one of the most exciting times in our history. We are expanding and adding degree programs; enhancing our academic programs, with additions such as the American
Book Review; beginning athletics, as competitors in the NAIA; and, increasing research across disciplines.
Your decision to complete a bachelor’s or master’s degree indicates your dedication to a better future for yourself, your family and your community. As you move through your university
journey, I encourage you to take advantage of the many occasions for growth that university life offers, both in and out of the classroom. Attend lectures by visiting speakers, enroll in an
international study class, take a leadership role in a student organization, attend athletic events, and participate in the community service opportunities that come your way. These will enrich
your university experience by expanding your vision as you learn more about yourself, others and the world in which we participate as global citizens.
UHV is structured to meet the needs of busy students through multiple delivery methods. We offer courses on campus, online, at various teaching sites in the region, and in collaboration
with other UH System universities at two off-campus teaching centers in Fort Bend County. We hope you will use as many of these options as you need to complete your degree.
We are here to assist students in receiving an excellent education, so please let us know if we can help you in any way.
