Academic Excellence
UHV has been recognized by many national organizations that evaluate universities, including The Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report. Several specific academic degree programs also have drawn top rankings.
Don't Wait
Start your graduate degree early with our Temporary Graduate program.
All you need is a bachelor’s degree and you can get started on your graduate degree before you even are admitted into a graduate program. Why do this? It can give you time to increase your GRE score or take the GRE. Maybe you’re waiting on letters of recommendation or need to finish up your writing samples. Temporary Graduate status is not available for our graduate Psychology programs. Learn more and get started today.
