The UHV School of Nursing is an institutional member of the Texas Medical Center.

This program is offered in the spring and summer semesters in Victoria and the greater Houston area including Sugar Land, Katy and The Woodlands, Texas.

Second Degree BSN
The Second Degree BSN program is a 12-month, intensive, full-time program for people holding bachelor's or master's degrees in other fields who want to become registered nurses (RNs). This program is designed to facilitate a career change for the more mature and experienced student. This program is offered in Sugar Land, Texas.
